New Frontiers in Reproductive Health: Australians' Support for Uterus Transplantation.
Article in The Australian & New Zealand journal of obstetrics & gynaecology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundInfertility is a global public health concern, and as a result, fertility treatments continue to evolve. Uterus transplantation is a novel procedure where a healthy donor uterus is transplanted into an individual without a functioning uterus who desires pregnancy, allowing them to participate in the genetic, gestational and social components of parenthood. Previous studies in several countries have investigated their population's views regarding uterus transplants to aid in awareness and understanding. However, Australians' views have not been explored outside the absolute uterine factor infertility community.
aimsWe aimed to examine Australians' support for uterus transplantation and the factors associated with higher support for the procedure's availability, Medicare subsidisation and ethical acceptance. MATERIALS AND
methodsParticipants (N = 349, aged 17-68) completed an online cross-sectional survey comprising demographics, fertility and transplant history and perceptions of uterus transplantation.
resultsMost Australians supported uterus transplantation availability (84.5%), subsidisation (67.3%) and ethical acceptance (73.3%). Male gender, non-university education, younger age, high parenthood importance and higher beliefs that the procedure is safe for the recipient, donor and infant/child predicted higher support for availability. Higher beliefs in uterus transplantation being safe for the recipient predicted higher support for subsidisation. Male gender and increased parenthood importance predicted higher levels of ethical acceptance.
conclusionsDespite ethical complexities surrounding the procedure, Australians were generally supportive of uterus transplantation. While our findings may inform future policies about uterus transplantation, research examining public perceptions over time, with the birth of more children and health professionals' perceptions, would be beneficial.
