1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionUterus transplantation (UTx) is a novel and clinically successful treatment option for patients with absolute uterine factor infertility (AUFI) who wish to achieve biological motherhood. Although over 100 UTx procedures have been performed at 20 centers worldwide in the past decade, the procedure remains relatively unknown-even among healthcare professionals. This study aimed to assess public opinion regarding UTx and to identify knowledge gaps in the Hungarian population's awareness and perception of the procedure.

methodsThis prospective study was conducted between December 18, 2024, and January 5, 2025, via an online survey involving 2896 participants. A final representative sample of 1500 individuals was selected using an iterative mathematical weighting method, adjusted to the 2022 Hungarian census data. The sample was representative of the Hungarian internet-using population aged 18-70 years in terms of age, gender, education level, and place of residence. The 24-item questionnaire assessed participants' views on organ donation, transplantation, infertility, surrogacy, and UTx.

resultsMost respondents (77%; 1155/1500) supported UTx (strongly agree: 44%, 660/1500; agree: 33%, 495/1500). Among participants personally affected by fertility issues, 84% (152/181) expressed support, with 51% (92/181) strongly agreeing that UTx should be offered. Only 4% of the total samples opposed the procedure. Notably, just 15% of respondents were previously aware that UTx had been performed internationally.

conclusionsThis online survey demonstrates substantial public approval for UTx in Hungary, particularly among individuals affected by infertility. However, public awareness of the procedure remains limited, indicating a need for increased education and communication to improve general knowledge on the topic.
