Risk of Cutaneous and Genital Warts in Organ and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Patients: A Nationwide Population-Based Study.
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 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
backgroundSolid organ transplantation and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are known risk factors for viral warts. However, large-scale studies on the association between transplantation and the risk of cutaneous and genital warts are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between transplantation and the risk of developing cutaneous and genital warts using a nationwide claims database.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Korean National Health Insurance Claims Database. The incidence of cutaneous and genital warts in transplant recipients was compared to that in the control population using multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression analysis. The adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to assess the risk.
resultsTransplant recipients exhibited a significantly increased risk of cutaneous warts (aHR, 3.73; 95% CI, 3.49-3.98) and genital warts (aHR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.07-1.29) compared to controls. The risk of cutaneous warts was elevated across all age groups, with the highest risk observed in individuals aged 20-39 years (aHR, 4.52; 95% CI, 3.92-5.22) and 40-59 years (aHR, 4.56; 95% CI, 4.14-5.02). In contrast, the risk of genital warts was highest in patients aged ≥ 60 years (aHR, 2.09; 95% CI, 1.47-2.99).
conclusionThis study demonstrates that transplantation is associated with an increased risk of both cutaneous and genital warts, with variations in risk based on age. These findings highlight the need for targeted surveillance and management strategies for wart prevention in transplant recipients.
