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
backgroundGiant condyloma acuminatum (GCA), also called Buschke-Löwenstein tumor, presents as a verrucous infiltrating lesion and is caused by sexual transmission of human papilloma virus. The optimal treatment is controversial and there are no standard guidelines because of its rarity and frequent recurrence. It has a relatively high local recurrence rate.
objectiveWe here report eight patients (six men and two women) with GCA whose lesions were successfully treated topically with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparations, paiteling. METHODS AND MATERIALS: We administered topical TCM preparations to eight patients diagnosed with GCA who had refused surgery. The treatment process included three stages, their durations depending on the speed of resolution of the lesions and the results of visual inspection with acetic acid.
resultsNo significant complications occurred in any patient. The functional and esthetic outcomes were satisfactory. No recurrences were detected during follow-up.
conclusionTopical treatment with TCM preparations may be a good alternative to surgery or other traditional methods for the treatment of GCA. This treatment has the advantages of being non-invasive, painless, and having a low risk of recurrence, and may be a useful adjunct to mainstream medical treatments.
