Real-word evidence on the effectiveness of the Endo-App in reducing endometriosis-related complaints: a retrospective analysis.

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
purposeRandomized controlled clinical trials have shown that symptoms of chronic pain conditions, such as endometriosis, can be improved with the use of specialized health apps. In the current study, real-world evidence was collected from Endo-App users to determine whether there was a sustained and positive effect on endometriosis symptoms.
methodsUsers of the Endo-App were offered an optional, six-question anonymous survey through the platform upon first registration (T0), after 3 (T1), and 6 to 7 (T3) months of use. The survey questions were not standardized and aimed to assess the severity of endometriosis symptoms and overall quality of life. Data were analyzed using MatLab using a parametric paired t-test when pairs of data between T0-T1 and/or T0-T2 were available. Statistical significance was defined as p < 0.05.
resultsA total of 143 users of the app completed at least part of the survey at 3 months and 55 users at 6 to 7 months. After 3 and 6 to 7 months of using the app average pain levels and days requiring medical assistance were significantly reduced compared to baseline values. In addition, the average reported number of sick days taken was significantly reduced at the 6-to-7-month timepoint compared to baseline.
conclusionThis real-world study demonstrates that use of a specialized app for endometriosis, such as the Endo-App, documents and may lead to a significant and sustained improvement of some endometriosis symptoms.
