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

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is not fully understood and is regarded as a multifactorial condition diagnosed based on clinical evaluation. Smoking, obesity, and hormonal imbalances may be the underlying associations of HS. The incidence of HS is greater in patients with diabetes. Psychiatric illnesses and their medications have been linked to new-onset and worsening of HS. This case report discusses a 35-year-old Hispanic male, a non-smoker with a past medical history of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, who was diagnosed with axillary HS after initiating lithium therapy. He experienced worsening HS and reached Hurley stage III, for which surgical excision was offered as the definitive treatment. Here, we present a case report of HS after the initiation of lithium therapy, focusing on the underlying pathological process of this skin condition. Despite limited data on this topic, clinical features, management of the condition, and possible disease development prevention methods will be emphasized.
