Article in Health science reports, 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
Background and Aims: Induced abortion is a sensitive public health concern in Lebanon, particularly with the existence of Legal restriction and informal access to abortion services. Data regarding knowledge, attitudes, and practices of induced abortion among Lebanese women is limited, thus, this study aimed to assess knowledge, attitudes and practices and to identify the most common associated factors. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted among 502 Lebanese women aged over 18 years. An online self-administered survey was distributed among the different governorates in Lebanon to assess sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge, attitudes, and practices of induced abortion. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to determine factors associated with the outcomes. Results: The mean knowledge score was 9.76 ± 1.71 out of 14. Most of participants were unaware of the Lebanese abortion law, 61.8% believed abortion should not be socially acceptable, and 9% of participants reported having undergone an induced abortion and the majority used safe methods. Conclusion: Lebanese women demonstrated moderate knowledge about abortion but substantial gaps in legal awareness and knowledge of medication abortion were identified. Findings highlight the importance of a culturally appropriate reproductive health awareness and educational programs to promote abortion safety within the context of the Lebanese law restrictions.
