This correction identifies an error in Figure 2 of the original article, which investigated the inhibitory effect of mifepristone on B7-H2, B7-H3, B7-H4, and PD-L2 expression in adenomyosis.

This paper is a published correction to an earlier article by Qin et al., addressing an error in Fig. 2 of the original report about how mifepristone affected expression of immune checkpoint–related molecules in adenomyosis. The correction notes that the original article has been updated with the corrected figure, and the provided figure describes immunoexpression/comparisons of B7-H3 (including Immunoscore comparisons) across ectopic and eutopic endometrium in adenomyosis patients—both untreated and mifepristone-treated—and normal endometrium in patients without adenomyosis. The main caveat is that this publication does not add new experimental results beyond fixing the figure error. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis — it corrects a figure in the study stating that mifepristone inhibited B7-H2, B7-H3, B7-H4, and PD-L2 expression in adenomyosis.
