Generalized molluscum contagiosum in an HIV patient treated with diphencyprone.
Article in Journal of dermatological case reports, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundDiphencyprone is a universal contact immunotherapy. The mechanism of action is based on an induction of the delayed-type hypersensitivity. Diphencyprone has been used in various forms for treatments of recalcitrant and facial warts, and alopecia areata. However, this treatment modality has not been generally used in immunocompromised patients. MAIN OBSERVATION: The present report demonstrated the efficacy of diphencyprone immunotherapy on the treatment of generalized molluscum contagiosum in a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patient. Minimal and transient side effects including pruritus, postinflammatory hyperpigmentation and irritation were noted.
conclusionDiphencyprone contact immunotherapy appears to be a possible alternative treatment of widespread molluscum contagiosum in immunocompromised patients.
