Endometriosis Quality of Life Cohort Study: Long-term Impact of Radical Laparoscopic Excision of Endometriosis.

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
Objectives: The objectives of this study were to determine if radical laparoscopic excision of endometriosis (RLEE) improves long-term outcomes in the quality of life (QOL) and symptomatology experienced by women with the disease. Secondary objectives include recurrence and reoperation rates and impact on fertility. Materials and Methods: Prospective observational cohort study Patients who underwent surgical management of histologically confirmed endometriosis completed pre- and postoperative QOL questionnaires. Results: Baseline preoperative scores on QOL questionnaires were lower than the population norms. Overall, 63.0% of patients improved their global health scores, and 57.5% of patients improved their health state scores from baseline to the most recent follow-up. On the Short Form-12 questionnaire, 63% of patients improved their physical and/or mental scores. Overall improvement was shown in Visual Analog Scale pain scores in menstrual pain (79.2% improved, median improvement 3, Conclusion: RLEE significantly improves global health scores, with this improvement lasting up to 10 years following index surgery. It is also suggested that this management option has the capability of improving fertility outcomes in women with endometriosis.
