Novel Treatment for a Giant Acrochordon Using Pachaieruvai, a Traditional Siddha Medicine: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Skin tags, also known as acrochordons, are common benign growths that often appear in areas where the skin experiences friction. One of the challenges for healthcare providers is finding more targeted treatment options for skin tags, as current methods-like electrodesiccation, laser therapy, cryotherapy, and surgical removal-can be quite expensive. Fortunately, Siddha medicine offers a promising and potentially more affordable alternative. In this case report, we discuss the successful treatment of a giant acrochordon in a 47-year-old male patient using Pachaieruvai Siddha medicine, an indigenous healing tradition from India. The patient applied Pachaieruvai externally for 10 days and experienced only mild, temporary discomfort. Substantial lesion disappearance was observed within two weeks, and subsequent evaluations at three and six months showed no recurrence. These results suggest that Siddha pharmacotherapy may serve as an effective, less invasive, and economical alternative for the management of acrochordons. However, further research and clinical studies are essential to validate its efficacy and develop standardized treatment protocols.
