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

Anticholinergics have been shown to enhance quality of life and reduce sweat in patients with hyperhidrosis. However, it remains unclear whether topical application specifically exerts local or systemic effects. This study's primary aim is to assess topical oxybutynin's impact on axillary hyperhidrosis. Twenty patients will be randomized into three groups. Group A will receive 2.5 mg of oral oxybutynin from day 1 to day 35 (on a variable frequency regimen). Group B will be administered a topical placebo for 35 days and Group C will receive a 10% oxybutynin topical spray, to be used twice daily for 35 days. The primary efficacy outcome will be the evaluation of the effectiveness of topical oxybutynin spray in treating hyperhidrosis. The TODAY trial will generate high-quality evidence on the effects of topical oxybutynin, assessing whether its impact is local or systemic in patients with axillary hyperhidrosis.
