Laparoscopic right colectomy for a patient with situs inversus totalis.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is rare congenital anomaly characterized by an inversion of the thoracic and abdominal viscera that crates a mirror image. Recently, several laparoscopic operations have been reported in patients with SIT. We herein report the case of a 76-year-old woman with ascending colon cancer who received a laparoscopic right colectomy. She was discharged on the 12th day after the operation, without any complications. Laparoscopic surgery in the patients with SIT remains a technical challenge for the surgeon. However, careful understanding of mirror image anatomy and planning of laparoscopic procedure permitted safe operation using technique in ordinary cases. Thus, laparoscopic surgery for colon cancer in the patients with SIT is safe and feasible.
