Attitudes of women towards uterus transplantation in Turkey: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC women's health, 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
backgroundUterus transplantation represents a viable option for women suffering from uterine factor infertility, offering the prospect of conception and motherhood. As techniques and procedures continue to develop, uterus transplantation is expected to become increasingly important and commonplace. The purpose of this study was to evaluate women's attitudes towards uterus transplantation in Turkey.
methodsThis population-based survey study conducted via online questionnaires to 189 women between March and August 2023. The "Attitudes Towards Uterus Transplantation Questionnaire" was used to collect the data. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
resultsOf the women, 54.0% had heard of uterus transplantation, but 74.1% of them did not know that it was legally performed in Turkey. The options supported by women were assisted reproductive treatments (95.8%) or adoption (86.8%), rather than uterus transplantation (60.8%). Surrogacy was the least supported method of having a child (20.1%). Around half of the women did not want their relatives to know if they were uterus recipients (51.3%) or donors (48.1%). The best donor was thought to be an anonymous donor (52%). The mean score given by women for their attitudes towards uterus transplantation was 7 out of 10, on a scale of 0 to 10.
conclusionAlthough women's attitudes towards uterus transplantation were good, their awareness and knowledge of the procedure were quite low. This lack of awareness or negative attitudes meant that some of the women were hesitant about uterus transplantation. It is suggested that awareness be raised among women regarding uterus transplantation as a potential solution for those desirous of conception, particularly those encountering difficulties in conceiving.
