Community awareness of assisted reproductive technologies in Jordan: educational gaps and knowledge levels.
Article in BMC public health, 2026. 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
backgroundPublic understanding of assisted reproductive technology (ART) is poorly documented in many countries. This study aims to explore the awareness about ART among the general Jordanian population and its association with sociodemographic and reproductive health education factors.
methodsA cross-sectional online survey was conducted among Jordanian adults aged between 20 and 65 years. In addition to the demographic data, the questionnaire assessed knowledge about in vitro fertilization (IVF), intrauterine insemination (IUI), and ovulation induction (OI).
resultsFrom the 902 participants, about half could neither define IVF nor distinguish between IVF from ICSI. Most couldn’t define IUI (70.73%), or ovarian induction (OI) (63.75%). The majority were unaware embryo gluing (89.14%) or assisted hatching (88.47%). Most were unaware of the success rates and didn’t know if using frozen eggs, sperms, or frozen embryos, affected the success rate. Most didn’t know the possible side effects of ovarian stimulation. According to their opinions, IVF success factors were the wife’s age, utilizing preimplantation genetic screening (PGS), and luteal support injections.
conclusionSignificant gaps in Jordanian community’s knowledge of ART were found by this study. Most participants were unaware of IVF, ICSI, IUI, OI, and their success rates and complex procedures. The need for focused educational interventions to enhance reproductive health literacy.
