Severe Anemia in Hidradenitis Suppurativa Improved by Colostomy and Surgical Treatment: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of plastic and reconstructive surgery, 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
A 46-year-old male patient had been undergoing treatment for hidradenitis suppurativa for over 10 years and had undergone surgical treatment 9 and 7 years before visiting our hospital and subsequently received only conservative treatment. The patient had a history of diabetes mellitus and was diagnosed with stage III hidradenitis suppurativa according to Hurley's classification. He had scars and fistulas, particularly, on the buttocks, and had severe anemia. This anemia appeared to be associated with bleeding from the lesions and chronic inflammation. A colostomy was performed, which eliminated the need for regular blood transfusions, and his hemoglobin level improved to within normal limits after two-stage excisional surgeries, followed by reconstruction with split-thickness skin grafting. Although colostomy can help manage anemia, a serious complication of hidradenitis suppurativa, aggressive surgical intervention, including colostomy, may be necessary for patients with refractory disease to prevent deterioration of their general condition.
