Successful treatment of plantar warts with intralesional bleomycin and electroporation: pilot prospective study.
Article in Dermatology practical & conceptual, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundNumerous studies have been performed to evaluate the efficacy of intralesional bleomycin for the treatment of warts with inconsistent result. Nevertheless, it is well known that the cytotoxicity of bleomycin can be enhanced OBJECTIVE AND
methodsIn this article, we present an interventional, one-center, prospective case series, clinical trial of the effectiveness of intralesional bleomycin combined with electroporation for the treatment of plantar warts, in comparison to the use of intralesional bleomycin alone.
resultsThe study's cohort included 12 men and 10 women, with a mean age of 53.8 years. A total of 22 warts were treated. In dividing the patients in two groups (complete remission against all the others) and analyzing the different outcomes in the two arms of patients, a statistical significant difference was found (p=0.0015), proving a greater efficacy of the treatment with bleomycin combined with ECT as opposed to bleomycin alone. Electroporation was always well tolerated by the patients with no discomfort.
conclusionsThis study serves as a basis for the application of novel protocols in the treatment of different benign and locally malignant skin lesion by means of electroporation.
