Designing and validating an adaptation tool for endometriosis: an exploratory mixed method study protocol.
Article in Reproductive health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 benign and chronic gynecological estrogen-dependent condition. Research findings have highlighted its impact on different aspects of women's lives. Enhancing quality of life and supporting the well-being of those affected is advised. Yet, none of the conducted studies have taken action toward these objectives. Therefore, the present study will be conducted with the aim of "Designing adaptation tool for endometriosis". METHODS/
designThe method used in this study is an exploratory mixed-method study. The study will consist of two phases, starting with a qualitative phase followed by a quantitative phase. Upon approval Ethics Code from the endometriosis clinic at Imam Reza Hospital in Mashhad, Iran. The research will involve women of reproductive age diagnosed with endometriosis. In-depth and semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions will be conducted. The research aims to explore the experiences of women with endometriosis in adapting to the condition, utilizing qualitative content analysis with an approach based on the "ROY adaptation model." Sampling will be purposive until data saturation is achieved. Data analysis will follow the suggested steps using Elo Kingas' method and MAXQDA20 software. Tool design will involve an inductive approach (informed by qualitative findings) and a comparative method (based on literature review) to develop and refine tool items. DISCUSSION: This study is the first to employ a mixed-method approach in developing an adaptation tool for endometriosis. It uncovers underlying issues in the attitudes of patients, medical staff, and healthcare providers, offering insight into factors that can enhance the health and quality of life of affected women. The research findings can inform the creation of a relevant strategy for policymakers, planners, and healthcare professionals to better address the needs of women impacted by endometriosis. Ethical code: IR.MUMS.NURSE.REC.1403.069.
