Comparison of the efficacy of dienogest and GnRH-a after endometriosis surgery.

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
objectiveTo compare the efficacy of dienogest and GnRH-a after endometriosis surgery.
methodsPatients with endometriosis who were admitted to our hospital from December 2020 to March 2022 were randomly collected. A total of 81 patients were collected and divided into 40 cases in the control group and 41 cases in the observation group. Among them, the control group was treated with GnRH-a drug, and the observation group was treated with dienogest (DNG).
resultsThe study found that the therapeutic effects of the two drugs were basically the same in patients with endometriosis. The VAS and Kupperman scores of the control group were 0.78 ± 0.8, 3.9 ± 1.84, P < 0.05, respectively; the VAS and Kupperman scores of the observation group were 0.73 ± 0.78, 1.55, respectively ± 1.24, P < 0.05, the difference was statistically significant.In the case of postoperative recurrence, the observation group was better than the control group, with 8 cases of recurrence in the control group and 2 cases of recurrence in the observation group, P < 0.05.
conclusionIn the comparison of postoperative efficacy of the two drugs on patients with endometriosis, dienogest is better than GnRH-a adjuvant drug in postoperative recurrence, and has a good improvement and application, which is worthy of further promotion in clinical practice.
