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
Local hyperthermia treatment, a common immunoadjuvant therapy, has been used in treating various human papillomavirus (HPV) infections. For multiple warts, it can clear off all warts of the body through targeted irradiation on one wart. We reported a case of a 22-year-old patient with multiple plantar warts combined with periungual warts, in which previous treatments were ineffective. Therefore, we utilized local hyperthermia treatment at 44°C using the largest fused-wart plaque on the right plantar as the treatment target for 30-minute irradiation each time. The hyperthermia induction therapy was performed on day 1, 2, 3, 12 and 13, followed by weekly maintenance therapy for 6 times. After 2 months of treatment, both irradiated and non-irradiated lesions disappeared, and no recurrence occurred during the follow-up period. This case indicates that local hyperthermia treatment may be a safe and effective approach for patients with multiple, recalcitrant, and site-specific viral warts due to the ineffectiveness of conventional treatment.
