Hair tourniquet syndrome leading to nipple autoamputation in an adult female: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
This is a unique case of hair thread tourniquet syndrome (HTTS) affecting the nipple of an adult female, leading to spontaneous autoamputation, a phenomenon rarely documented in the literature for this anatomical site. A 52-year-old woman presented with changes in the color and shape of her left nipple over two days, with a piece of hair wrapped around it. Despite hair removal, her symptoms worsened, ultimately resulting in necrosis and autoamputation of the nipple. Unlike most reported cases, which involve early intervention preventing severe ischemic damage, this case highlights the rare progression of HTTS to complete tissue loss. The necrotic portion was easily excised under local anesthesia. Awareness of this condition and prompt intervention are crucial to prevent severe complications in adult HTTS.
