Assessing the Role of Adalimumab in Treating Hidradenitis Suppurativa: Findings from a Retrospective Study at a Reference Center.

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
backgroundHidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by inflammatory lesions, often leading to scarring. Managing HS can be difficult, requiring biological therapy, specifically adalimumab.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted on patients diagnosed with HS and treated with the TNF-α inhibitor adalimumab. Data from 21 patients were included in this study. International Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severity Score System (IHS4); Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI); pain intensity according to the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS); and number of nodules, abscesses, and fistulas were assessed.
resultsNotably, 47.62% of patients achieved Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response. The mean number of inflamed nodules decreased from 5.62 ± 4.12 to 3 ± 3.46, abscesses decreased from 1.76 ± 2.63 to 0.81 ± 1.4, and fistulas decreased from 2.62 ± 1.86 to 2 ± 1.9 (
conclusionsAbout half of HS patients responded positively to adalimumab treatment; the use of the drug reduces inflammatory lesions, and pain, and improves quality of life.
