Use of Topical Insulin in the Wound Healing Process After Ultrasonography-Guided Modified Deroofing Surgery in a Hidradenitis Suppurativa Patient: A Case Report.

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 an inflammatory disease causing nodules, abscesses, sinus tracts, and scars in fold areas. It significantly impacts patients' quality of life. Surgical treatments are becoming popular in dermatology, with deroofing being a common procedure. However, recurrence rates can be high due to not removing fibrotic areas and scar tissue entirely. Recent efforts have focused on removing these tissues to achieve lower recurrence rates. This case report describes a male patient with HS who underwent a newly defined ultrasonography-guided modified deroofing surgery for HS. The wound-healing process was then accelerated with the application of topical insulin. In this case, we would like to highlight the significance of using ultrasonography before HS surgery, confirm the importance of modified deroofing surgery, and emphasize that insulin can be used as an effective supplementary treatment for ulcer management.
