Role of Ultrasonography in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Narrative Review.
Article in Indian dermatology online journal, 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
abstractHidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, debilitating inflammatory skin disorder that predominantly affects the axillae, anogenital, and inguinal regions in the form of recurrent painful, suppurative abscesses, nodules, and fistulae. The major challenge in the management of HS lies not only in the difficulty of early diagnosis but also in the initial treatment decisions, which heavily rely on the stage of the disease. Multiple studies in the literature have concluded that clinical examination significantly underestimates the severity of HS, thus impacting treatment choices and the course of the disease. Ultrasonography (USG) is becoming a valuable aid in assessing disease extent and guiding treatment decisions in HS. For this review, the PubMed database was searched using 'USG,' 'ultrasound,' 'ultrasonography,' and 'hidradenitis suppurativa' as the keywords in the title with no date limits. The utility of USG in HS reported in the literature was evaluated by reviewing each abstract. The current review emphasizes the emerging usefulness of USG in HS, both in the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
