Experiences of patients with endometriosis with a digital health application: a qualitative analysis.
Article in Archives of gynecology and obstetrics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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.
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 frequent disease in women of reproductive age in which the endometrium occurs outside the uterine cavity. Multimodal treatment approaches are necessary due to loss of quality of life and the chronic nature of the disease. Digital health applications (DiGa) are becoming increasingly important. This research project investigates how a healthcare app can influence the subjective experience of illness in patients with endometriosis.
methodsEmpiric data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Data analysis was carried out using qualitative focussed interview analysis. Reliability was ensured by joint interdisciplinary and interprofessional evaluation of the interviews by experts and those affected.
resultsTen patients with endometriosis and the prescribed healthcare app Endo-App
conclusionOnce a DiGa has been prescribed, it may be useful to explain its use on an outpatient basis and validate regular use. Blind re-prescribing of DiGas should be avoided. Younger patients with a recent diagnosis or patients following rehabilitation may benefit more from prescribing.
