Combined surgical excision with skin grafting and thermal therapy for refractory plantar warts: a therapeutic approach in immunocompromised patients.

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
Refractory cutaneous viral warts in the immunocompromised carry a high risk of recurrence and malignant change. Evidence for effective treatment is scarce. A 54-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus, steroid-induced diabetes, and multiple comorbidities presented with plantar warts resistant to topical agents, cryotherapy and laser therapy for a decade. Progressive ulceration, pain, and impaired gait made surgery unavoidable. Histology confirmed benign verrucous change. Two-stage management comprised radical excision and negative-pressure wound therapy, followed by split-thickness grafting. On healing, daily 44°C foot soaks for 30 min were prescribed. At 6 months, warts had resolved, pain ceased, mobility returned and there was no recurrence. Radical excision, immediate grafting and adjunctive hyperthermia delivered durable remission in this high-risk patient. This regimen warrants prospective comparison with conventional treatments in immunocompromised patients with recalcitrant warts.
