From Ancient Traditions to Modern Medicine: A Review of the Evolution, Procedural Complications, and Surgical Challenges of Piercings.

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
Piercings have evolved from ancient cultural traditions to a mainstream form of body modification, interweaving personal expression and modern medicine. This review traces the historical origins of piercings, highlighting cultural significances and transformation into contemporary trends. As piercings have become increasingly commonplace, the incidence of medical complications has risen, necessitating medical and surgical intervention. Moreover, the growing popularity of body modifications, including gauges and dermal implants, presents unique surgical challenges in reconstructive procedures following piercing removal. By exploring the intersection of historic cultural practices and medical science, this review aims to provide a broad understanding of the evolution of piercings and considerations for physicians managing piercing-related concerns.
