Exploring the Association Between Hidradenitis Suppurativa and Hyperthyroidism.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeHidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an inflammatory disease affecting the pilosebaceous skin units and is linked to several autoimmune conditions. An area of exploration includes the connection between hyperthyroidism and HS. This study aims to investigate and establish the relationship between HS and hyperthyroidism.
methodsThe relationship between hyperthyroidism and HS was evaluated using data from the National Institute of Health (NIH) All of Us Researcher Program. A cross-sectional study was performed to assess the prevalence of HS in individuals with and without a history of hyperthyroidism matched by age ranges and health surveys. Relative risk and significance were determined by using standard statistical methods.
resultsA total of 407,333 patients were matched by health surveys and age ranges in the control and experimental groups. Among patients with a history of hyperthyroidism, the prevalence of HS was 1.40% compared to 0.38% in the control group. This difference was statistically significant (p < 0.0001 with an OR = 3.717, 95% CI 3.038-4.548).
conclusionThis study demonstrates a statistically significant correlation between hyperthyroidism and increased prevalence of HS. These results justify the need for further research regarding hyperthyroidism's role in HS and the potential screening tools and lifestyle management techniques that may be prevalent for both conditions.
