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
College men are among those least likely to be vaccinated against the human papillomavirus (HPV). Viewing digital stories from other college men who were vaccinated against HPV as young adults may help influence them to seek the vaccine. Guided by the Theory of Planned Behavior, this research reports on the creation and pilot testing of digital stories to increase college men's intentions to vaccinate against HPV. We recruited college men vaccinated against HPV as young adults to participate in an online workshop to create a digital story about their HPV vaccine decision. To examine the persuasiveness of the digital stories, we then asked college-aged men who either had never been vaccinated against HPV or did not know their HPV vaccine status to complete a pretest, view the digital stories, respond to questions related to identification and emotional engagement with the stories, and complete a posttest. We used descriptive statistics to assess participants' identification and emotional engagement with the stories and paired-sample t-tests to evaluate changes in theoretical constructs from pre- to post-intervention. Results illustrated that exposure to the stories significantly influenced the participants' positive attitudes about the HPV vaccine (Mpretest = 3.41; Mposttest = 3.57, p < .02), subjective norms (Mpretest = 2.82; Mposttest = 3.33, p < .001), self-efficacy to vaccinate (Mpretest = 3.20; Mposttest = 3.39, p < .01), and intention to vaccinate against HPV within the next year (Mpretest = 2.64; Mposttest = 3.10, p < .001). Future research should assess the effectiveness of this intervention on HPV vaccine uptake.
