Review in Dermatology and therapy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07788326 (20% Alcohol With Steroid Local Anesthetic Technique Versus Steroid Local Anesthetic Technique Only in Stellate Ganglion Injection in Idiopathic Palmar Hyperhydrosis), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundTopical anticholinergics have been reported to be effective in managing hyperhidrosis (HH) given the recent approval of glycopyrronium tosylate.

objectiveThis review aimed to examine the effectiveness of emerging topical anticholinergic treatments for HH and their associated adverse effects in comparison to current treatment options.

methodsWe conducted a search within the PubMed and Embase databases for current and emerging topical anticholinergic treatments for primary HH.

resultsThe topical anticholinergics that have been recently investigated for use in HH include glycopyrrolate, oxybutynin, sofpironium bromide, and umeclidinium. The only agent currently FDA approved is glycopyrrolate.

conclusionKnowledge of topical anticholinergic treatment options is important for patient care when managing HH. This review shows that while available safety data thus far are limited, emerging topical anticholinergics pose minimal known human risks.
