Wart removal without anesthesia using long-pulse 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser.
Article in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05768893 (Evaluation of Combined Treatment With Er), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 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.

Abstract
backgroundWarts are benign epithelial proliferations that result from human papillomavirus (HPV) infection occurring on the skin and mucosa. Patients express a significant reduction in quality of life due to this cosmetic nuisance, as well as functional problems and physical discomfort. Newer methods of wart removal include different energy-based devices, mostly lasers. Nonablative lasers such as Nd:YAG have a higher success rate and are usually used with topical or infiltrative anesthesia. The procedure may be safer without anesthesia but still tolerable with an appropriate cooling and technique.
aimsThe purpose of this study is to report on our experience over 3 years since the approach without anesthesia has been utilized. PATIENTS/
methodsA retrospective chart review analysis of all 85 patients who underwent 1064 nm Nd:YAG wart removal without anesthesia between November 2016 and August 2019 was conducted. One of the main outcome measures was determining the number of sessions required in order to get full clearance.
resultsThe mean number of sessions was 2.2 (range 1-7). The mean VAS pain score during the procedure was 6 (range: 2-10), and side effects were negligible.
conclusionLong-pulse 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser without any chemical anesthesia is safe and effective for the treatment of warts.
