A Comprehensive Review of Treatment Approaches for Cutaneous and Genital Warts.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Cutaneous and genital warts are common in both developed as well as developing countries. Human papillomavirus (HPV), which is a double-stranded DNA virus, is the causative agent of wart infection. Different types of HPV viruses are responsible for the different severity of diseases. Some types are associated with malignancy of the anal region and cervix. HPV is a common sexually transmitted disease in the United States. The incidence is most common in the younger age groups and the elderly population. Our main goal is to describe the different treatment modalities available for warts. Treatment modalities are divided into primary, secondary, and tertiary options. Topical medications, and physical excision of warts via cryotherapy, electrocautery, lasers, or photodynamic therapy are all common forms of treatment. Various clinical trials and randomized control trials have been seen as effective treatment against HPV infection. Higher remission rates are seen irrespective of different treatment options. Warts can be treated but the HPV virus cannot be completely removed. Older age, immunocompromised state, diabetes mellitus, and HIV are the predisposing factors for the disease. There is currently a large variety of medicines in use, all of which can differ significantly in terms of price, side-effect profiles, dosing regimens, length of therapy, and overall effectiveness. The best course of treatment has not yet been identified, and patients are often treated according to their unique needs.
