Microwave therapy for the treatment of resistant plantar warts: a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial.
Trial report in Archives of dermatological research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Plantar warts, or verrucae plantares, are skin lesions on the soles of the feet caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). These warts are prevalent and affect up to 33% of children and 3.5% of adults. While they may regress spontaneously, plantar warts often persist and resist conventional treatments such as excision, cryotherapy, and laser procedures.This study investigated microwave-induced hyperthermia as a treatment for recalcitrant plantar warts. The study was conducted at a dermatology practice in Lübeck, Germany. Thirty-two adult patients with long-lasting, treatment-resistant plantar warts were randomly assigned to either a treatment or placebo group. The treatment group received microwave therapy (Swift
