Efficacy and safety of superficial radiotherapy in the treatment of cutaneous warts: A meta-analysis.
Synthesis in The Journal of international medical research, 2026. 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
ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate clinical evidence concerning the efficacy and safety of superficial radiotherapy in the treatment of cutaneous warts.MethodsEight major international clinical literature databases were queried according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines for superficial radiotherapy studies published prior to 9 August 2025. Randomized controlled trials, prospective/retrospective controlled studies, and case series with sample sizes ≥10 were included. The primary outcome was the cure rate, whereas secondary outcomes included recurrence rate and adverse reactions. Risk or odds ratio with 95% confidence interval were pooled using random-effects or fixed-effects models as appropriate. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I
