Differential Diagnosis Between Perianal Crohn's Disease and Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Challenging Teamwork.
Article in JPGN reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a rare, debilitating skin disease characterized by the presence of recurrent tender subcutaneous nodules that develop into abscesses and fistulae. Isolated perineal Crohn's disease (CD) is unusual, diagnosis can be difficult, and distinction from HS is a challenge for the gastroenterologist. The aim of this work was to determine the criteria that distinguish perineal CD from perineal HS. Four patients with isolated perineal CD and three with perineal HS were included. Rectal or skin biopsies of all CD patients showed granulomas. No granulomas were found for HS. Fistulae were present in 4/4 CD, extended to the anal canal. All patients with HS had gluteal abscesses. They were bilateral in all cases, superficial. Perineal lesions management should involve a multidisciplinary approach in order to make an accurate diagnosis and ultimately to give the best and most effective treatment.
