This graph shows two line plots on the same axes. The vertical axis shows health related quality of life, labeled 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0. The horizontal axis shows time in months, labeled 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. The first line is labeled "laparoscopic-assisted". The line starts at months = 0 and quality of life = 0.8, slopes downwards until months = 1.5, quality of life = 0.75, then is horizontal until months = 4, quality of life = 0.75, then slopes upwards to quality of life = 1.0 at 12 months. The second line is labeled "standard". The line starts at months = 0 and quality of life = 0.8, slopes downwards until months = 1.5, quality of life = 0.7, then slopes upwards until months = 4, quality of life = 0.75, then slopes upwards again to quality of life = 0.96 at 12 months.
