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

Although prophylactic vaccination is highly effective against human papillomavirus (HPV), HPV vaccine uptake among Chinese college students remains insufficient, and evidence among medical university students, particularly males, remains limited. Following the recent approval of male HPV vaccines in China, this study evaluated vaccine awareness, acceptance, and potential barriers among both sexes. A cross-sectional online survey of 831 full-time undergraduate students at Anhui Medical University was conducted from October to December 2025. While overall HPV vaccine awareness was high (88.33%), the actual vaccination rate remained low at 25.55% (54.40% among females). Overall vaccination intention was 67.27%, exhibiting a profound gender disparity (92.80% in females
