Medical students' attitudes toward socioscientific issues in female reproductive anatomy teaching: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC medical education, 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
objectivesThis study aimed to assess medical students' attitudes toward integrating socioscientific issues (SSI) into female reproductive anatomy teaching across multiple academic years, using the novel case of China's first uterus transplantation, and to apply artificial intelligence (AI)-based sentiment analysis to evaluate their emotional responses.
resultsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 163 medical students across three academic cohorts (2022, 2023, and 2024-2025) at a medical university in China. Over 95% of students rated the SSI-based teaching positively. AI-based sentiment analysis revealed that attitudes toward ethical questions varied: for embarrassment in close-relative transplantation, no significant differences were found across cohorts (χ² = 5.78, df = 4, p = 0.216); for adoption as an alternative to childbirth, attitudes also did not differ significantly (χ² = 6.62, df = 4, p = 0.157). Mean sentiment scores for ovarian transplantation were neutral to slightly negative across all cohorts (2022: -0.31; 2023: -0.08; 2024-2025: -0.12, weighted average of -0.17 for 2024 and - 0.02 for 2025).
conclusionsSSI integration using a culturally relevant case was well-received by medical students. AI-based sentiment analysis proved a valuable tool for quantifying emotional responses. Attitudes toward ethical issues did not differ significantly across the three cohorts, suggesting a rationale for the sustained integration of SSI in preclinical curricula to foster ethical reasoning.
