Exploring the Social, Emotional, and Physical Consequences of Hidradenitis Suppurativa in Pediatric Patients: A Scoping Review.
Review in Pediatric 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
There remains a widespread lack of knowledge regarding hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) among physicians in the United States, impeding timely diagnosis and implementation of comprehensive treatment interventions. Despite the presence of supporting communities for affected adolescents and their caretakers, the overall awareness of HS remains low, and a greater consensus on the treatment of HS is needed. Current research highlights the lack of standardized pediatric guidelines for treatment of HS largely due to the varied nature of the disease and limited efficacy of current therapies. Our study aims to explore the relationship between the chronic skin condition HS and social-emotional concerns, mental health, and physical health issues in US children and adolescents. Using the Arksey and O'Malley framework and PRISMA-ScR reporting, we searched PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase for U.S. studies (2015-2025) on pediatric HS (<18 years) and social-emotional, mental health, or quality-of-life outcomes. Recommendations were synthesized, and study quality was appraised with CASP checklist methods and rigor. Ten studies (2020-2025) met inclusion criteria. Pediatric HS was associated with depression, anxiety, social withdrawal, shame, low self-esteem, and reduced quality of life. Physical comorbidities increased psychosocial burden. Socioeconomic and racial disparities worsened outcomes and access to care. Studies emphasized early diagnosis, routine screening, multidisciplinary management, and disparity-focused interventions. Findings may inform clinical practice and guide research initiatives aimed at improving outcomes for children and adolescents with HS.
