Esophagectomy via left thoracotomy for esophageal cancer with situs inversus totalis: report of a case.
Article in Surgery today, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
We report a case of successful esophagectomy via a left thoracotomy for esophageal cancer in a 57-year-old Japanese man with situs inversus totalis. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, performed to investigate the cause of dysphagia, revealed a 7-cm irregular shaped mass occupying more than half of the circumference of the middle-third of the esophagus. Computed tomography (CT) showed enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes and situs inversus totalis. Histological examination of a biopsy specimen revealed squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. Although esophagectomy is usually performed through a right thoracotomy because of the left position of the aortic arch, we performed successful subtotal esophagectomy with radical lymph node dissection through a left thoracotomy. During surgery, we modifi ed the standard surgical technique in a mirrorimage fashion to complete the esophagectomy safely. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course.
