Efficacy and Safety Profile of Tuberculin Protein Purified Derivative Injection As Immunotherapy For the Treatment of Cutaneous and Anogenital Warts: A Review Article.
Review in ImmunoTargets and therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: Various treatments available today for anogenital and cutaneous warts have limitations, including time-consuming, challenging to perform, and the risk of scarring. A new treatment using tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) has been developed, which is expected to generate cellular immunity against HPV. Objective: To assess the evidence for the efficacy and safety of PPD treatment for cutaneous and anogenital warts. Materials and methods: A literature search was performed with the keyword-based search on digital libraries, including the National Library of Medicine, Cochrane Controlled Register of Trial, and Google Scholar, using the following terms: anogenital warts, condyloma acuminata, cutaneous warts, human papillomavirus, immunotherapy, and tuberculin purified protein derivative. Original studies on treating cutaneous or anogenital warts with PPD were included. The results were 47 clinical trials and 4 case reports. Most of the research was done in countries with common Conclusion: Based on good efficacy and safety, PPD can be considered an alternative therapy, especially in countries where tuberculosis is frequent.
