ADOLESBIO-HS: A Real-World Multicenter Case Series on the Effectiveness and Safety of Adalimumab in Adolescents with Moderate-to-Severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa.

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
<p>Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic disease that causes painful skin lumps and scarring in the skin. In an important number of patients, the disease starts in adolescence. Adalimumab was the first biologic drug approved in adolescents with HS, yet approval was done on a model-based extrapolation from other diseases. Data regarding the effectiveness and safety of adalimumab in HS in this age group is lacking. Our objective was to describe the effectiveness and safety of adalimumab in adolescents with moderate-to-severe HS.
methodsRetrospective multicenter case series. HS units across Spain were invited to participate, including all patients starting adalimumab in adolescence. Demographic, clinical, and treatment-related characteristics were retrieved. Effectiveness was measured as the proportion of patients achieving Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response (HiSCR) at 6 months. Safety was assessed by means of quantification and description of side effects over time.
resultsA total of 65 patients from 9 HS units were included. Mean age at adalimumab start was 15.5 years. A total of 76.9% of patients achieved HiSCR at 6 months. Side effects were observed in 7 patients, 3 of them requiring drug discontinuation, with full recovery. The adult dosage (80 mg every other week [EOW]/40 mg every week) was more frequently used. The median drug survival time for adalimumab was 5.6 years (25th percentile: 2.9 years), and the recommended adolescent dosage (40 mg EOW) was associated with a need for intensification (p < 0.001). The main limitations of the study are the lack of a comparison group and the retrospective design.
conclusionAdalimumab showed a similar safety profile in adolescents with moderate-to-severe HS as in adults, with better effectiveness data. </p>.
