This preprint was withdrawn due to significant plagiarized content copied from a previously published manuscript on the impact of COVID-19 on software design activities.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

This withdrawn Research Square preprint was labeled as a systematic review assessing how COVID-19 impacted software design activities in global software engineering, framed from a “medical science” computing perspective, but it is not peer-reviewed. The only substantive text provided is an editorial withdrawal notice stating the preprint was withdrawn due to significant portions of plagiarized content copied from an already published manuscript by Mahum Advil et al., received by the International Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering on 31 August 2023, and associated with DOI 10.1142/S0218194024500098. The major limitation explicitly noted is the withdrawal itself, which indicates the preprint’s content quality/integrity issues. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.
