Influence of App-Based Self-Management on the Quality of Life of Women With Endometriosis.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionEndometriosis can significantly impair the quality of life of those affected. Multimodal self-help measures are recommended but are often difficult to access. Smartphone apps have been shown to improve the quality of life for other conditions with chronic pain. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of the Endo-App (Endo Health GmbH, Chemnitz, Germany) on both disease-related quality of life and symptoms of endometriosis affecting it.
methodsIn the present randomized, controlled pilot study, the impact of utilizing the Endo-App on the quality of life among a sample of 122 women affected by endometriosis is assessed. To measure the changes over a 12-week period, the study incorporates the validated Endometriosis Health Profile (EHP-5 and EHP-30) questionnaire from Oxford University, among other assessment tools.
resultsThe use of the Endo-App leads to significant changes in the following areas after 12 weeks compared to the control group: pain disability, pain self-efficacy, fatigue, depressive symptoms, and Endometriosis Health Profile scores. The EHP-5 score from T0 to T12 is reduced by -16.76 (p-value of the Mann-Whitney U test (p
conclusionIn summary, the Endo-App improves both physical and psychological symptoms and the patient's self-efficacy. The Endo-App contributes to improving endometriosis care in Germany and enables women suffering from endometriosis to significantly increase their quality of life.
