Effectiveness of intralesional bleomycin in the management of difficult-to-treat and resistant cutaneous warts in a tertiary care teaching hospital in Puducherry: A quasi-experimental study.

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
Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of intralesional injection of bleomycin in the management of difficult-to-treat and resistant cutaneous warts. Material and Methods: A total of 54 patients were enrolled in the study, of whom 52 completed it. We administered 0.1% bleomycin over the warts and conducted follow-up at 4, 8, and 12 weeks. If the warts were not completely clear, we administered the next dose of intralesional bleomycin at each visit until the third visit. If the lesions resolved at the third visit, we conducted a telephonic interview for the next follow-up at the end of 12 weeks to record any recurrence of warts and residual side effects. Results: Out of 54 patients enrolled in the study, two were lost to follow-up. About 49 (94.2%) patients had clearance of warts at the end of the study period. About 45 (86.5%) patients had complete resolution of lesions after the first session. Three patients achieved complete clearance after the second treatment session. One patient achieved complete clearance at the end of the 12 Conclusion: The present study demonstrates that intralesional bleomycin is an efficient and safe treatment option in the management of resistant and difficult-to-treat warts.
