Management and Burden of Hidradenitis Suppurativa: An Italian Hybrid Real-World Study.
Article in Dermatology and therapy, 2025. 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
introductionHidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease that severely impacts quality of life and carries a substantial economic burden.
methodsThis multicenter observational study generated real-world evidence on HS in Italy, focusing on clinical profiles, management, and costs. Data were collected from 50 adults at four specialized centers, combining primary data with retrospective administrative data.
resultsPatients with moderate-to-severe disease had longer diagnostic delays (median 1.8 versus 0.7 years), lower symptom control (40.7% versus 95.2%), and worse quality of life (Dermatology Life Quality Index: 11.8 versus 8.0) than those with mild disease. Furthermore, HS was associated with higher costs in moderate-to-severe cases, including greater direct (€2214 versus €873) and indirect expenses (€2435 versus €262).
conclusionsThe findings highlight the social and economic burden of HS and emphasize the need for increased healthcare awareness for earlier diagnosis and better management.
