Review in Dermatology and therapy, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Hyperhidrosis is defined as the production of sweat beyond what is physiologically necessary to maintain thermal homeostasis. This disease state may (and typically does) have a significant impact on the patient's quality of life. Medications including antiperspirants, anticholinergics, and botulinum toxin have been shown to be effective in the management of hyperhidrosis. Several medical device technologies have also proven to be effective. This review article will explore the current and emerging pharmacological and medical device treatments for hyperhidrosis and provide a framework for treating patients who suffer with primary forms of hyperhidrosis.
