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

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is linked to cardiometabolic disease (CMD), and guidelines recommend annual primary care visits. This study examined predictors of primary care utilization among patients with HS. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 307 patients with HS were analyzed. χ Results: Mean age was 39.4 years; 26.4% had Hurley stage III disease. Overall PCP adherence was 85.0% but lower in patients under 30 years (71.0%). CMD prevalence included hypertension (33.9%), type 2 diabetes (17.6%), and hypercholesterolemia (32.9%). Patients without CMD were 74.0% less likely to adhere to annual PCP visits (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 0.26; Conclusion: Primary care engagement is influenced more by CMD and insurance than HS severity. Coordinated dermatology-primary care strategies may enhance preventive care, especially for younger patients without CMD.
