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

Objective: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition with limited treatment options and a significant impact on quality of life. This prospective, open-label, real-world study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of strontium cream in alleviating pruritus in HS. Methods: Fifty participants completed baseline and one-week post-intervention surveys. Pruritus was assessed using a numeric severity scale and a qualitative survey on overall itch reduction. Results: Statistical analysis revealed a significant reduction in itching symptoms post-intervention, with mean itch scores decreasing from 3.80±0.90 at baseline to 2.28±1.50 post-intervention ( Limitations: The study relied on self-reported data, which introduces subjectivity, and the absence of a control group limits causal inference. Conclusion: Strontium cream demonstrates promise as a therapeutic option for managing pruritus in HS, warranting further research.
