Patient Preferences in Hidradenitis Suppurativa Depend on Treatment Experience: Results from APProach-HS.
Article in Patient preference and adherence, 2026. 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
Purpose: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with significant unmet therapeutic needs. However, information on patient preferences for HS therapies is hitherto scarce. Our aim was to investigate the impact of treatment experience on patient preferences for pharmacological and surgical treatment of HS using conjoint analysis. Patients and Methods: Discrete choice experiments were applied for the attributes treatment modality (tablets, subcutaneous injections, surgery with secondary intention healing or primary closure), probability of sustained therapeutic success, probability of mild or severe adverse events, and duration of treatment or wound healing. These attributes were subsequently correlated with treatment experience. Results: Overall, 216 patients with HS considered therapeutic success as most important (Relative Importance Score (RIS):36.2), followed by the treatment modality (RIS:24.0). Patients experienced with biologics favoured subcutaneous injections most (PWU:18.1 vs. -0.5, p=0.020), whereas biologic-naïve patients preferred tablets. Patients who had undergone surgery with secondary intention healing valued this approach (PWU:4.1 vs. -24.8, p=0.004) and therapeutic success (RIS:37.5 vs. 31.6, p=0.017) higher and the duration of wound healing lower (RIS:18.9 vs. 23.3, p=0.037) than others. Conclusion: Individual preferences were depending significantly on treatment experience. Incorporation of this aspect could help to improve personalized care of patients with HS.
