Auricular and periauricular hidradenitis suppurativa: Increasing awareness of atypical sites.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 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
Hidradenitis suppurativa is typically found in intertriginous areas such as the axillae and groin. As incidence rates rise, however, hidradenitis suppurativa is increasingly identified in unexpected locations. As this phenomenon has been underreported, these patients experience diagnostic delays and inappropriate or inadequate treatment. This case involves a man in his 60s who presented with an inflamed earlobe that had waxed and waned without diagnosis or treatment for many years. Recognition of the signs and symptoms of hidradenitis suppurativa led to diagnosis, effective therapy, and improved quality of life; however, due to diagnostic delay related to the atypical location, tunneling and scarring had already developed. This case highlights auricular and periauricular hidradenitis suppurativa to promote earlier recognition and timely intervention to limit progression of this highly morbid disease.
