Comparative analysis of different treatment modalities for management of cutaneous warts: A systematic review and network meta-analysis
This network's meta-analysis concludes the superiority of intralesional saline in achieving response to treatment when compared with other modalities such as cryotherapy and vaccines. A higher risk of adverse events was noted on use of vaccines. Future research is needed to strengthen these findings.
