Surgical Management of Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Narrative Review.
Review in The Journal of clinical and aesthetic dermatology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 2 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
Objective: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a debilitating, chronic, dermatological inflammatory skin disease that affects apocrine gland bearing skin in the axillae, groin, and inframammary regions. It is underdiagnosed and its pathogenesis incompletely understood. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the existing literature on the surgical management of HS, focusing upon outcomes of definitive surgery. Methods: A literature search was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. PubMed and EMBASE databases were searched for original studies pertaining to the surgical management of HS published from January 1970 to July 2020. A total of 33 papers were included for analysis. Results: Management options include risk factor modification, pharmacological agents, and surgical intervention. Many surgical management techniques exist, including incision and drainage, CO Limitations: A small number of suitable papers met our specific focus and inclusion and exclusion criteria. Novel techniques described in case studies were missed. Additionally, this study examined HS management as a whole, but region-specific management was not reviewed closely. Conclusion: The success of surgical management is dependent on multiple factors. Thus far, the precise role of surgery in elective treatment of refractory HS requires further analysis and reporting of outcomes.
