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

This retrospective study explores the off-label use of trifarotene, a topical retinoid currently approved only for acne in individuals aged 12 years and older for the treatment of verrucae planae (flat warts). Our study included patients aged 3 to 45 years, demonstrating a high safety and tolerability profile due to the minimal systemic absorption of trifarotene. The therapy allowed for the rapid resolution of warts, avoiding invasive and potentially scarring treatments, particularly crucial for pediatric patients and young adults. These findings suggest that trifarotene may provide a cosmetically favorable and effective alternative for managing flat warts, warranting further investigation.
