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

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (H/S) disproportionately affects African Americans. We describe those affected by this disease to evaluate potential racial disparities. Methods: This retrospective review examined 1148 patients with H/S cared for by plastic surgery and/or dermatology. Analysis was performed between African Americans and non-African Americans (White, Hispanic, Asian, and other races). Results: Most patients identified as women (76%) and African American (66%). Mean age across all patients was 36.3 years and mean body mass index was 36.1 kg/m². A total of 1936 cases of H/S were identified, and African Americans more commonly experienced H/S of the bilateral axilla ( Conclusions: African Americans may face disparities in the management of this complex and often chronic disease course. It is important that those affected by H/S are managed by a multidisciplinary team to ensure optimal patient care.
