Long-term evaluation of quality of life and gastrointestinal well-being after segmental colo-rectal resection for deep infiltrating endometriosis (ENDO-RESECT QoL).
Article in Archives of gynecology and obstetrics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03824054 (Evaluation of Quality of Life and Gastrointestinal Well-being in Patients Undergoing Colorectal Resection for Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis. Retrospective Observational Cohort Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
purposesThe primary objective is to assess the long-term quality of life (QoL) and gastrointestinal well-being in patients with endometriosis (DIE) who underwent segmental resection (SR), through specific questionnaires focused on endometriosis and specific gastrointestinal evaluation. The secondary objectives are represented by the evaluation of peri-operative and post-operative outcomes of the procedure.
methodsThis observational cohort study ENDO-RESECT (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03824054) reports all clinical data about women who underwent SR for DIE between October 2005 and November 2017. In the part of the study dedicated to the QoL assessment, the questionnaires adopted were the Endometriosis Health Profile (EHP30), the Psychological General Well-Being Index and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Gastrointestinal Well-being questionnaire and the Bristol Stool chart. Major post-surgical morbidity and obstetric outcomes were also collected.
results50 women (18% stage III and 82% stage IV rAFS) were considered for enrollment. EHP-30 interpretation demonstrated a significant improvement in all continuous variables, except for fertility concerns. The overall gastrointestinal QoL and most of the specific symptoms improved after surgery. Frequent bowel movements appeared in the 13% of the series not resulting in an impairment of general and gastrointestinal QoL. Constipation remained unchanged. Patients with depressive mood managed with laparoscopy, benefited the most from SR; moreover, patients with multinodular bowel localizations experienced a greater reduction in abdominal pain. Median FU after SR was 42.5 months (range 12-157 months). Only three (6%) cases of late major grade III complications were documented. The pregnancy rate was 50%.
conclusionsImprovement of general QoL and most of gastrointestinal symptoms was documented after SR.
