1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by the presence of painful nodules, abscesses, chronically draining fistulas, and scarring in apocrine gland-bearing areas of the body. The exact pathogenesis of HS is not yet well understood, but there is a consensus in considering HS a multifactorial disease with a genetic predisposition, an inflammatory dysregulation, and an influence of environmental modifying factors. Therapeutic approach of HS is challenging due to the wide clinical manifestations of the disease and the complex pathogenesis. This review describes evidence for effectiveness of current and emerging HS therapies. Topical therapy, systemic treatments, biological agents, surgery, and light therapy have been used for HS with variable results. Adalimumab is the only US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved biologic agent for moderate-to-severe HS, but new therapeutic options are being studied, targeting different specific cytokines involved in HS pathogenesis. Comparing treatment outcomes between therapies is difficult due to the lack of randomized controlled trials. Treatment strategy should be selected in concordance to disease severity and requires combination of treatments in most cases.
