Hidradenitis Suppurativa: Surgical and Postsurgical Management.
Review in Skin appendage disorders, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundHidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder. Several medical treatments, with varying degrees of efficacy, have been developed. However, in most cases of advanced HS, the definitive treatment option is often represented by surgical excisions.
objectiveSurgical techniques, reconstructive approach, and local wound care should be accurately designed in order to obtain the best result. In this review we analyze the possible surgical treatments and local wound care.
methodsA MEDLINE search was performed on the various surgical treatments, reconstructive techniques, and local wound care.
resultsSurgical treatment is a common therapeutic modality for HS. Different surgical reconstructive techniques and post-surgical wound care approaches are described for the management of HS patients.
conclusionsThere were few high-quality evidence-based studies evaluating the surgical management of HS. Many disparate HS severity scores were used in these studies, making comparisons between them difficult. Nonetheless, research on different surgical approaches and wound care management has increased substantially in the past decade and it has given patients more surgical therapeutic strategies. The description of the best combinations and timing of surgery, wound care, and medical therapies will be a matter of future research for the definition of the optimal management of the HS patient.
