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

introductionSitus inversus is a rare congenital anomlay in which the thoracic and abdominal organs are sited on the opposite side to that of normal anatomy. Its etiology is still unknown. It is classified into situs inversus partialis and situs inversus totalis. It is discovered incidentally in most cases. Any surgical intervention for such patients may encounter intra-operative technical difficulties due to anatomical differences, particularly if a laparoscopic approach is adopted, as in bariatric surgeries where the obesity itself opposes an added surgical challenge. CASE PRESENTATION: A female patient with a BMI of 52.1 Kg/m

conclusionThis case report demonstrates that biliopancreatic diversion can be done safely in morbidly obese patients with situs inversus by an experienced bariatric surgeon in a specialized well-equipped center.
