Biologic drugs in hidradenitis suppurativa: what does the GP have to know? A narrative review.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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 with a profound disease burden. In recent years, the advent of biologic therapies has improved the treatment landscape for patients with moderate to severe HS. In this new therapeutic era, the role of the general practitioner (GP) in HS treatment is becoming more important than ever. This review discusses how to recognize and diagnose HS by detailing common symptoms. HS can also present with multiple comorbidities. The GP's role in screening for and treating these important comorbidities is pivotal. This review highlights the HS treatment landscape, with a specific focus on what the GP can recommend. The three approved biologics for treating HS include adalimumab, secukinumab and bimekizumab; the benefits and concerns of biologics in everyday clinical practice are detailed. In summary, this review serves as a HS management guide for GPs, with a particular focus on the biologic treatment landscape.
