Strategies implemented to increase HPV vaccine uptake and confidence among men who have sex with men and transgender people: A systematic review.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender persons are disproportionately affected by HPV-related disease. The HPV vaccine effectively prevents infection, but vaccine uptake remains suboptimal in this group. Thus, this systematic review aimed to synthesize the literature on interventions and strategies implemented to increase HPV vaccine confidence and uptake among MSM and transgender persons. Six databases were searched in May 2025. We assessed risk of bias and extracted and descriptively summarized key data through narrative synthesis and content analysis. Sixteen articles reporting on eight interventions were identified, all implemented in high-income settings. The interventions can be broadly categorized into two types: strategies to integrate HPV vaccination into existing health services and digital interventions aimed at generating vaccine demand. Overall, evidence remains limited on interventions to increase HPV vaccine uptake in these groups, particularly studies focusing on the needs of transgender persons.
