Motivations for uterus transplantation in women with absolute uterine factor infertility: A systematic review of the literature.
Synthesis in Clinics (Sao Paulo, Brazil), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionUterine transplantation is indicated for women with absolute uterine factor infertility, which is usually associated with congenital causes (the most common being Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome) or acquired via hysterectomy. For these women, uterus transplantation is the only possibility for them to be able to conceive and have a biological child. The aim of this study was to understand the motivations that lead women with absolute uterine factor infertility to wish to undergo a uterus transplant.
methodsA systematic literature review was performed in the following databases: Medline (PubMed), Embase, Cochrane (CENTRAL), Scopus, Web of Science, and LILACS.
results439 articles were identified, and nine studies were finally selected. Uterine transplantation was the preferred choice over adoption and surrogacy in most studies (ranging from 45 % to 97.5 %). The main motivations for this type of transplant include the desire to conceive a pregnancy, the desire to have a genetic child, the desire to have control over pregnancy, the physiological repair of the body, the restoration of femininity, and the desire to contribute to science.
conclusionThe motivations for uterus transplantation go far beyond the desire to get pregnant and include personal and unique motivations.
