Sexual self-efficacy and sexual quality of life before and after laparoscopic surgery in women with endometriosis lesions: A cross-sectional study.

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: Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological diseases and is associated with an increased risk of dyspareunia. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate sexual self-efficacy (SSE) and sexual quality of life (SQOL) before and after laparoscopic surgery of endometriosis lesions. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study measured the dependent variable by questionnaires before and after the surgery, and was performed with 36 women with endometriosis (aged 20-40 yr) who were referred to Arash hospital, Tehran, Iran between December 2018 and July 2019 using a convenience sampling method. Data collection tools included SQOL and SSE questionnaires, and a visual analogue scale. Data were collected before, and 3 and 6 months after laparoscopic surgery. Results: Out of the 36 women included in this study, 91.7% had pelvic endometriosis and 8.3% had abdominal and pelvic endometriosis. 9 participants (25.0%) were in stages I or II of the disease, and 29 (75.0%) had endometriosis with higher involvement. The findings of the study showed a positive effect of laparoscopic surgery on SQOL and SSE in participants (p Conclusion: Laparoscopic surgery in cases of endometriosis can improve SQOL and SSE in affected women and improve dyspareunia.
