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

We report the case of a morbidly obese patient with situs inversus who presented for robotic-assisted Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. To do the procedure, the ports were reversed and the first assistant stood on the opposite side of the table. With these minor modifications to technique, the surgery was successfully performed without confusion over the patient's anatomy. There were no intraoperative complications. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful and he was discharged on postoperative day 3. We believe this is the first reported robotic-assisted Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in a patient with situs inversus.
