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
objectivesHidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting hair follicles, significantly impacting patients' quality of life. While clinical assessment remains the cornerstone of diagnosis and staging, ultrasound (US) has emerged as a valuable tool for disease evaluation, treatment guidance, and monitoring. The introduction of ultra-high frequency ultrasound (UHFUS) allowed for near in vivo histopathological examination of HS lesions. This study aimed to correlate UHFUS features with histopathological findings in HS lesions.
methodsThree patients at different disease stages underwent pre-surgical UHFUS mapping using a 70 MHz linear probe. Regions of interest (ROIs) were identified and marked preoperatively. Patient 1 had an abscess and perilesional skin, Patient 2 had a draining abscess, and Patient 3 had a clinically evident tunnel. Local excision was performed for Patient 1, while wide excision was conducted for Patients 2 and 3. Tissue samples underwent histological examination, and UHFUS findings were analyzed by three independent observers in consultation with a pathology expert.
resultsUHFUS demonstrated the ability to delineate fluid collections, tunnels, and subclinical lesions with high precision. Case 1 revealed a fluid collection with an intra-lesional drop-shaped inclusion, corresponding histologically to a neutrophilic abscess with keratin-filled cysts. Case 2 showed an elongated inclusion within a fluid collection, which histology confirmed as a keratin cyst linked to a tunnel. Case 3 exhibited a tunnel structure characterized by hyperechoic bands on UHFUS, correlating histologically with a keratinized epithelial-lined tunnel.
conclusionsThese findings highlight UHFUS as a non-invasive tool enhancing HS assessment, bridging clinical and histopathological evaluation. Further research is needed to standardize parameters and optimize its clinical utility.
