1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Anogenital warts are the most common clinical manifestation of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections. Although easy to recognize, asymptomatic anogenital warts (condylomata acuminata) may be overlooked, leading to unaware transmission to the sexual partner. On the other hand awareness of this sexually transmitted disease (STD) is largely associated with a great psychological and social burden, in men as well as women. Spontaneous regression of genital warts has been observed mostly within 2-5 years; however, persisting condylomata may prove refractory to all current treatment options. Because removal of the warts does not totally eliminate the underlying viral infection, treatment of genital warts can often be of long duration, of varying effectiveness and with high recurrence rates. Without a doubt only the patient's own immune system is capable of clearing HPV infections. Therefore, the solution to one of mankind's oldest health problems will depend on the future acceptability of HPV vaccines.
