1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Situs inversus totalis is a rare anatomic variant of a complete mirror-image transposition of the thoracic and abdominal viscera. The performance of a pancreaticoduodenectomy and distal pancreatectomy in patients with situs inversus totalis is both rare and challenging. We herein present two cases of pancreatic cancer with situs inversus totalis. The abdominal anatomy was preoperatively assessed by multidetectorrow computed tomography, three-dimensional reconstruction, and angiography. We herein report that a pancreaticoduodenectomy and distal pancreatectomy with standard regional lymphadenectomy are feasible in patients with situs inversus totalis. Due to the transposition of the viscera and major blood vessels in such cases, preoperative knowledge of the exact anatomy, mapping of anomalies, and meticulous forward planning are essential for performing these technically difficult and complex hepatobiliary-pancreatic surgeries.
