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

Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic autoinflammatory skin disease of the terminal hair follicle, whose pathogenesis is complex and multifactorial. Alongside a predisposing genetic background, environmental/epigenetic factors, alterations in the skin microbiome, and dysregulation of both innate and adaptive immune responses contribute to the persistent inflammatory network. Despite advancing knowledge, the exact molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying HS have yet to be untangled. Moreover, the lack of experimental disease models that closely mimic disease phenotypes or pathophysiological processes has hindered the development of effective therapeutic strategies. Recent advances in immunology highlighted the important role of B cells in HS pathogenesis, not only in the chronic but also in the early stages of the disease, implying great potential for the development of novel therapeutic targets. This study gathers the preclinical and clinical scientific evidence that supports the role of cutaneous B-cells in HS pathogenesis and the therapeutic potential of their targeting.
