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
backgroundAssisted reproductive technologies (ARTs), including in vitro fertilization (IVF), offer solutions to infertility, yet public understanding and acceptance vary widely. In Southeast Alabama, recent legal developments following the Alabama Supreme Court ruling giving frozen embryos similar rights to children have intensified debates around ART. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of women of reproductive age regarding ART and explore how demographic and experiential factors influence these views. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 144 women aged 16-45 residing in Southeast Alabama. The survey instrument, developed through literature review and expert consultation, included sections on demographics, knowledge, and attitudes toward ART. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 30 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY), employing descriptive statistics, t-tests, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and chi-square tests to identify significant associations.
resultsMost participants (
conclusionsWomen in Southeast Alabama generally support ART but hold nuanced views shaped by personal, cultural, and socioeconomic factors. Knowledge gaps and ethical concerns on ART persist among women, underscoring the need for targeted education and policy efforts to improve informed decision-making and equitable access to fertility care.
