Effective treatment of a giant condyloma with imiquimod and HPV vaccination.
Article in Gynecologic oncology reports, 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
Background: Giant condyloma acuminata (GCA) is a sexually transmitted disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), mostly types 6 and 11. Only a few cases have been reported in children and young patients. Treating these large tumors in adolescent patients is challenging, due to the disfiguring effects of surgery and the high risk of recurrence. Alternative nonsurgical treatments are available such as imiquimod. Imiquimod is a topically active immunomodulatory agent that is formulated as a 5% cream for application by the patient. In immunocompetent patients, imiquimod stimulates the production of interferon-alpha and various other cytokines, and has indirect antiviral activity. Case presentation: We present a case of successful treatment of an extensive GCA encompassing the entire vulva in a 14-year-old adolescent patient with a history of sexual abuse with imiquimod and three doses of nonavalent HPV vaccination (9vHPV) leading to complete remission of the GCA after 12 weeks of imiquimod application and nearly complete regression of remaining vulvar condylomas after 6 months. Conclusion: Imiquimod in combination with intramuscular 9vHPV vaccination can be an effective treatment for GCA in young patients, without the disfiguring side effects of surgery and could be considered as an alternative treatment option.
