Etiological Factors Associated With Abnormal Uterine Bleeding Among Adult Women Presenting to Tertiary Healthcare Settings.
Article in Cureus, 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
backgroundAbnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a common gynecological condition affecting women of reproductive age and is associated with quality of life, physical well-being, and healthcare impact. AUB has varying etiologies classified as structural or non-structural, which influence clinical presentation and patient outcomes. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of AUB etiological determinants in women of reproductive age and to evaluate the role of these sociodemographic factors affecting their prevalence.
methodsIt is a cross-sectional observational study conducted over six months in a tertiary care hospital in Karachi. Non-probability consecutive sampling was used to recruit 171 women diagnosed with AUB and aged between 18 and 45 years. Clinical examination and transvaginal ultrasound were used to assess participants. Information on ages, body mass index (BMI), parity, educational level, socioeconomic status, and place of residence was collected.
resultsThe average age was 39.17 ± 5.24 years, and the BMI was 27.94 ± 5.96 kg/m
conclusionLeiomyomas and polyps were found to be the most common underlying causes of AUB among reproductive-age women, where structural factors were more prevalent among less well-educated women and patients with limited healthcare access.
