Primary Hyperhidrosis: Prevalence, Severity, and Impact on Quality of Life among Jordanian Patients.
Article in Indian journal of dermatology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundPrimary hyperhidrosis (PHH) is characterized by idiopathic, focal, bilateral, and symmetrical excessive and exaggerated sweating with a major impact on the quality of life (QoL). To date, there are no studies about the prevalence of PHH in Jordan and in the Arab region.
aimTo assess the prevalence, severity, and characteristics of PHH in the Jordanian population as well as its impact on QoL. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis study was conducted in five hospitals in Jordan and included 4,500 attendants of outpatient clinics who were evaluated for the presence of PHH. To assess the severity of hyperhidrosis (HH), we used the Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS). To evaluate the impact of HH on QoL, the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaire was answered by our patients, either digitally or on paper.
resultsThe overall prevalence of PHH in the Jordanian population was 3.2% (
conclusionPHH prevalence in the Jordanian population is 3.2%, which has a major impact on QoL. This raises the need for addressing this disease to reduce its burden on patient lives.
