Treatment of Ectopic Hidradenitis Suppurativa of the Lower Leg with Setons: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in dermatology. 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
Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by painful nodules, abscesses, and sinus tracts, typically affecting intertriginous areas. Deroofing is a commonly used surgical intervention but may be associated with significant postoperative pain and prolonged healing. Case Presentation: We report a 37-year-old woman with long-standing HS, Hurley stage III, involving typical regions and an atypical, refractory lesion on the left lower leg. After systemic biological treatment and intralesional corticosteroids failed to improve the atypical lesion, setons were used as a minimally invasive alternative, resulting in good clinical outcome and a high patient satisfaction. Conclusion: This case report supports a broader implementation of seton placement in HS lesions, providing symptomatic relief and facilitating healing while preserving tissue.
