Effect of deep infiltrative endometriosis surgery and surgical method on sexual function in females.
Article in Turkish journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 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
Objective: Sexual function and quality of life are significantly reduced in endometriosis patients, particularly those with deep infiltrative endometriosis (DIE). The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of endometriosis excision and excision techniques on sexual function among individuals with DIE to those of healthy females in an objective manner. Materials and Methods: Our study included 140 individuals who were diagnosed as having DIE and reported dyspareunia in our clinic between January 2018 and 2024, and 70 patients who presented to our family planning clinic. The preoperative and 6-month post-surgery scores of the female sexual function index (FSFI), quality of sexual experience scale (QSES), and visual analog scale (VAS) values of all patients who described preoperative dyspareunia were examined retrospectively from the patient files. Results: In our study, the FSFI score of healthy groups was seen to be significantly greater than the pre-surgery and post-surgery groups (p<0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). The QSES scores of the healthy group were found to be significantly higher than the pre-surgery and post-surgery groups (p<0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). The VAS dyspareunia values of the healthy group were discovered to be significantly lower than the pre-surgery and post-surgery groups (p<0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). The FSFI and QSES scores of the post-surgery group were significantly higher than those of the pre-surgery group (p<0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). The VAS dyspareunia score of the post-surgery group was seen to be significantly lower than that of the pre-surgery group (p<0.001). The FSFI and QSES scores of patients who underwent laparotomy were discovered to be significantly greater than that of individuals who underwent laparoscopic surgery (p<0.001 and p=0.01, respectively). Conclusion: The surgical approach may have a positive effect on both organ dysfunction and sexual function in women with DIE; this issue should be considered carefully.
