Knowledge and concern towards endometriosis among Lebanese women: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC women's health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundEndometriosis is a prevalent disease among women worldwide, including the Middle East. Insufficient knowledge about the disease causes delayed diagnosis which could result in major complications, particularly infertility. Thus, being aware of the symptom's aids in prompt diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore, no research has been done in Lebanon to assess the Lebanese women's knowledge about endometriosis.
aimTo determine the understanding and concerns of Lebanese women about endometriosis which aids in identifying knowledge gaps and misconceptions so that they can be addressed.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted between February and March 2024 among Lebanese females, who completed the authors' online questionnaire assessing knowledge and concern about endometriosis and its associated symptoms, Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to explore the relationship between score of knowledge and different characteristics of patients.
resultsA survey of 725 Lebanese women (mean age 32.5 years, SD = 9.5) revealed low knowledge (25.9%) about endometriosis origin, symptoms, and treatment. Over 60% were unaware of endometriosis symptoms, while 9.9% mistakenly believed menstrual cramps indicated the disease. Younger age (< 35 years), higher education (Master's degree or above), professional occupation, lower pregnancy and live birth rates, and no history of abortion, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine or ovarian conditions, and pelvic surgeries were significantly associated with greater knowledge of endometriosis.
conclusionLebanese women's knowledge of endometriosis is limited. This highlights how crucial medical education and awareness initiatives are in addressing the issue in Lebanon. Greater awareness of endometriosis will encourage Lebanese women to seek medical advice and consultation, resulting in earlier detection and treatment.
