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

Buschke-Löwenstein tumor (BLT), also known as giant condyloma acuminatum (GCA), represents a rare, slow-growing pseudoepitheliomatous lesion attributed to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, characterized by local aggressiveness and potential for malignant transformation. We report a 62-year-old male with a 20-year history of progressive perineal lesions, alongside a medical background of non-muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma and chronic tobacco use. Clinical examination revealed a painless exophytic mass encompassing the perineum, scrotum, and adjacent structures; preoperative imaging and sexually transmitted infection screening yielded unremarkable findings. Histopathological analysis following wide surgical excision confirmed BLT without histological evidence of malignant transformation, with no recurrence observed at 18-month follow-up. Although an uncommon sexually transmitted entity with substantial risks of recurrence and malignant degeneration, BLT diagnosis rests upon integrated clinical and pathological correlation. Complete surgical excision remains the therapeutic cornerstone, potentially supplemented by adjunctive modalities. This case underscores the association with bladder neoplasia, likely mediated by shared risk factors including chronic inflammation and smoking, while emphasizing that early recognition and aggressive resection-even in extensive disease-can yield excellent long-term outcomes.
