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

Objectives: Sofpironium bromide is the first topical anticholinergic drug approved in Japan for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of sofpironium bromide in patients with primary axillary hyperhidrosis who experienced residual axillary odor or recurrence of axillary odor after surgery with subdermal excision of apocrine glands by skin flap procedure for axillary osmidrosis. Methods: A total of 56 patients who underwent surgery for axillary osmidrosis at our hospital between January 2022 and April 2023 were included in this study. Axillary odor and sweat volume were evaluated with patient-reported visual analog scale in 56 patients who underwent surgery for axillary osmidrosis and 13 patients administered with sofpironium bromide after the surgery. Results: Surgery in patients with axillary osmidrosis significantly improved axillary odor and excessive sweating by approximately 90% and approximately 54%, respectively. Treatment with sofpironium bromide in patients with axillary hyperhidrosis after the surgery significantly improved axillary odor and excessive sweating by approximately 70% and approximately 63%, respectively. Conclusions: These results suggest that sofpironium bromide is effective in patients with axillary hyperhidrosis after the surgery. Since this study was conducted with a small number of patients in a retrospective single-arm design, it is necessary to validate the results in a prospective controlled study with a large number of patients.
