Prognostic Factors for Pain and Fertility Outcomes Following Laparoscopic Endometriosis Surgery: A Single-Center Experience.
Article in Journal of reproduction & infertility. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Endometriosis is a prevalent condition among women, often leading to infertility. Laparoscopic surgery is widely employed as a therapeutic intervention for endometriosis. This study investigated the prognostic factors influencing the outcome of laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 60 women with endometriosis referred for laparoscopic surgery at Amiralmomenin Hospital, Zabol, Iran, between 2022 and 2024. Pain intensity was measured using a visual analog scale (VAS). Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 26. Descriptive statistics summarized the data, while univariate analyses (t-tests and chi-square tests) assessed relationships between variables. Multivariate logistic regression identified independent predictors of pain reduction and pregnancy outcomes. Results: Patients with moderate endometriosis showed statistically significant pain reduction from 8.8 preoperatively to 1.8 at 9 months (p<0.001) and 2.2 at 12 months post-surgery (p=0.003). Those with severe endometriosis had non-significant pain reduction (8 to 6 at 12 months, p=0.12). Both intrauterine (9 to 1.1 at 12 months, p<0.001) and extrauterine involvement groups (8.6 to 3.3, p=0.004) demonstrated significant pain improvement, with no significant difference between the groups (p=0.779). Regarding fertility outcomes, treatment before the age of 30 significantly increased pregnancy likelihood (AOR=20.57, 95%CI 1.4-295.3), while other factors including BMI, CA125 levels, and parity showed no significant associations (all p>0.05). Conclusion: These preliminary findings suggest that laparoscopic surgery may reduce pain in moderate endometriosis, while the age under 30 may be associated with improved pregnancy outcomes. However, given the study's limited sample size and wide confidence intervals, these results require validation in larger, multicenter cohorts.
