The health-related quality of life in hyperhidrosis and co-morbidities.
Article in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
purposeHyperhidrosis has been associated with a reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The role of common confounding factors of this association such as stress and socioeconomic status, however, remain largely unexplored, and may affect the management strategy for hyperhidrosis. Therefore, the study objective was to compare the HRQoL in individuals with and without hyperhidrosis while adjusting for confounders.
methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, data on the HRQoL measured by the short-form-12 questionnaire and self-reported hyperhidrosis were collected from the Danish Blood Donor Study-cohort. Data on international classification of disease-10 codes and redeemed prescriptions were collected from nationwide registries. Linear regression investigated the association between hyperhidrosis and HRQoL.
resultsTotal 2794 (9.1%) of 30,808 blood donors had self-reported hyperhidrosis and 284 (0.2%) of 122,225 had hospital diagnosed hyperhidrosis. Self-reported hyperhidrosis was associated with a reduced mental HRQoL (adjusted beta coefficient - 1.10; 95% confidence interval - 1.37, - 0.82; p < 0.001) and physical HRQoL (adjusted beta coefficient - 0.90; 95% confidence interval - 1.09, - 0.70; p < 0.001). Hospital diagnosed hyperhidrosis was associated with a reduced mental HRQoL (adjusted beta coefficient - 0.91; 95% confidence interval - 1.82, - 0.04; p = 0.049).
conclusionHyperhidrosis is associated with a reduced HRQoL, independently of confounders or mode of diagnosis. This supports an approach primarily targeting hyperhidrosis.
