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

Background: Infertility is a significant global challenge, impacting millions of individuals across the world. In Lebanon, where fertility rates are declining, understanding the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of women experiencing infertility is vital to dispelling misconceptions, improving healthcare, and offering better support for those struggling to conceive. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between June and September 2024, involving 346 Lebanese women from two fertility centers in Beirut. Participants were randomly selected to complete the questionnaire through individual interviews. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were performed, and generalized linear models were used to explore the influencing factors for each of the knowledge, attitudes, and practice scores. Results: The results showed that 63.6% of participants had high knowledge, 66.2% had positive attitudes, and 82.1% exhibited good practices. The generalized linear models revealed that being a healthcare provider ( Conclusion: This study shows that Lebanese women experiencing difficulty conceiving generally have a high level of knowledge, positive attitudes, alongside good related practices toward infertility. However, knowledge gaps and cultural factors remain, highlighting the need for enhanced reproductive health education and specialized trainings for healthcare providers.
