[Polyphenon E. A new topical therapy for condylomata acuminata].
Review in Der Hautarzt; Zeitschrift fur Dermatologie, Venerologie, und verwandte Gebiete, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Treatment of genital warts (condylomata acuminata) is still not completely satisfactory, despite the introduction of imiquimod 5% cream. With the development of Polyphenon E 15% ointment, progress has been made towards optimized, patient-friendly treatment of genital warts. Polyphenon E is a mixture of different polyphenols/catechins from green tea extracts (Camilla sinensis), which are known to have antioxidative, antiinflammatory, anti-proliferative and anticancer activities. In 3 placebo-controlled clinical studies safety and efficacy of Polyphenol E 15% ointment was studied in a total of 1400 patients with genital warts from Europe, North- and South America as well as South Africa. Complete responses with total healing of genital warts were seen in 54.9% of the patients in contrast to 35.4% of patients receiving placebo (p >0.001) (Combined study data). The recurrence rate was 6.2%. Polyphenon E offers special advantages with regard to its very good safety profile. Systemic adverse reactions are unlikely. Mild to moderate local reactions are of short duration. "Drug-holidays" are not necessary and the ointment does not have to be washed off. There is no contraindication for uncircumcised men with genital warts.
