1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Urban-rural disparities may hinder HPV vaccination in Tibetan regions. This study quantified disparities in HPV vaccine knowledge, willingness, and uptake among women in Tibetan settings. Methods: A multi-center cross-sectional survey of women aged 18 to 45 years was conducted. HPV knowledge was measured using a 10-item score (range 0-10). Vaccination uptake was defined as self-reported receipt of at least 1 dose. Among unvaccinated participants, willingness was dichotomized as willing versus unwilling or undecided. Multivariable linear and logistic regression models accounted for within-site correlation using cluster-robust standard errors by survey site. Results: Among 812 participants (568 urban, 244 rural), overall uptake was 29.8% (242/812) and was higher among urban than rural residents (35.2% vs. 17.2%, Conclusion: Large urban-rural gaps in knowledge and vaccination uptake persist despite high willingness among unvaccinated women, indicating a substantial intention-to-behavior gap driven by affordability and delivery constraints. Interventions should pair education with financing and service delivery strategies that reduce travel burden and improve reliable vaccine availability in rural Tibetan settings.
