1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundCondyloma acuminata (CA) are dysplastic lesions caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Condylomata acuminata are common in Human Immunodeficiency Virus- (HIV) infected individuals and have been linked to HIV transmission. Current therapeutic options for CA encompass laser, cryotherapy, imiquimod, sinecatechins, podophyllotoxin, and trichloroacetate. These topical therapies have limitations caused by significant local skin reactions, high recurrence rates, prolonged application times, and, in some cases, a supposed lower efficacy in people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (PLWH). Previous studies evaluated the effect in the CA treatment of tirbanibulin 1% ointment since it is a synthetic antiproliferative drug approved for the topical treatment of actinic keratoses, acting in two distinct ways: it inhibits microtubule polymerization and Src kinase signaling. Human papilloma virus can up-regulate the kinases Src and Yes, so the tirbanibulin efficient treatment of CA may be due to the suppression of Src kinase signaling.

methodsHere, we present for the first time a retrospective case series of three PLWHIV affected by CA. CASE: The patients experienced variable outcomes, with complete resolution of smaller condylomas for 2 out of 3 patients. Adverse events were local and of mild to moderate severity, lasting one week or less.

conclusionsWhile in need of larger studies, it is possible to hypothesize tirbanibulin 1% ointment as a therapeutic alternative for people living with HIV, especially for condylomas smaller than 1 cm in size.
