Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Hidradenitis Suppurativa Patients: a Cross-Sectional Study From Tertiary Referral Hospital.

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
Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, disabling skin disorder which is characterized by recurrent attacks of nodule, abscess, sinus tract formation and scarring. Oral/topical antibiotics, oral retinoids and TNF-alpha inhibitors are used for the treatment of HS. Objectives: In the present study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) positivity and the presence of COVID-19 related symptoms in relation to the age, gender, body mass index, disease duration, treatment used for HS, treatment duration and smoking. Methods: We conducted a comparative, cross-sectional study of 178 patients diagnosed with HS in a referral hospital. Age, gender, smoking status, body mass index, treatment modalities used for HS, the presence of COVID-19 related symptoms, history of close contact to a person with COVID-19 and COVID-19 real time-PCR results were determined by a telephone questionnaire. Results: Sixty-three patients were female, whereas 115 patients were male. During COVID-19 pandemic, 94 out of 178 patients had COVID-19 related symptoms; COVID-19 real time-PCR test was performed in 109 (61.2%) patients. Thirty (27.5%) cases tested positive for COVID-19 whereas 79 (72.5%) tested negative. Conclusions: Patients having COVID-19 related symptoms were shown to have statistically significantly higher mean age compared to the ones who did not have any symptoms (P = 0.031). No statistically significant relationship was found COVID-19 real time-PCR positivity and the type of treatment administered for HS when categorized as tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitor, oral retinoid, topical antibiotic and oral antibiotic group (P > 0.05).
