Cantharidin Topical Solution 0.7%: First Approval.
Review in Paediatric drugs, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Cantharidin (YCANTH™) is a proprietary drug-device combination product containing a formulation of cantharidin 0.7% topical solution (a vesicant naturally derived from blister beetles) delivered via a single-use applicator that has been developed by Verrica Pharmaceuticals Inc. for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum and is also being developed for the treatment of warts. In July 2023, YCANTH™ (cantharidin 0.7% topical solution) was approved for the topical treatment of molluscum contagiosum in adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older in the USA. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of cantharidin 0.7% topical solution leading to this first approval for the topical treatment of molluscum contagiosum in adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older.
