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.

2 · The registry

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

Hyperhidrosis (HH) is a condition characterized by excessive sweating beyond thermoregulation needs. HH can be primary with no known etiology or secondary, as a symptom of underlying medical disease or a side effect of certain medications. Furthermore, HH can be focal, affecting one or a few body parts, or generalized, affecting the entire body. We present the case of a 49-year-old male with a history of primary generalized HH as well as coronary artery disease whose HH symptoms surprisingly resolved following coronary angioplasty and stenting. This unprecedented outcome of the procedure points to a potential association between HH and coronary artery disease, proposing potential management of HH through cardiovascular workup. In light of this result, we suggest that patients exhibiting generalized primary HH undergo a thorough comprehensive cardiovascular workup.
