In one paragraph

Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06926192 (Efficacy and Safety of Secukinumab in Conjunction With Surgery in Moderate to Severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a multifactorial disease involving the skin and subcutaneous tissues characterized by deep-seated, painful nodules and abscesses with draining sinus tracts. It affects mostly younger individuals between the ages of 18 and 34. The discomfort and embarrassment that patients affected by HS experience negatively impact their daily lives. It is associated with decreased quality of life and high rates of comorbid depression and anxiety. The rate of depression in HS was reported to be as high as 26%. Its pathogenesis is multifactorial and as such requires a multimodal approach to treatment, which subsequently is reviewed here. Moreover, the pathogenesis of HS is complex and only partially understood. Autoinflammation is the key driver of disease development and is linked with dysregulated inflammasome activation with the subsequent production of inflammatory cytokines. Genetics and cutaneous microbiome play a role in the development of chronic inflammation and lesion formation. Risk factors such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and smoking also add to the systemic inflammation. Targeting these risk factors is a key aspect of the treatment of HS. Lifestyle modifications are used in conjunction with pharmacotherapy and procedures to effectively manage the disease.
