This expression of concern addresses a 2012 article comparing letrozole and clomiphene citrate for superovulation in women with surgically treated minimal to mild endometriosis. An investigation triggered by third-party concerns revealed issues with the statistical analysis and data presentation within the original study. Although an institutional inquiry was requested, the authenticity of the data could not be confirmed due to a lack of direct response from the involved university. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the management of minimal to mild disease following surgical treatment — but its findings are currently under question due to data integrity concerns.
