Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in situs inversus totalis: Case report with review of techniques.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
introductionSitus inversus totalis (SIT) is a congenital disorder in which the visceral organs are mirrored from their normal anatomical position. Diagnosis and management of cholelithiasis in patient with SIT poses a challenge due to the underlying anatomical variation. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a case of a 40-year-old male patient who presented with an intermittent history of epigastric and left upper quadrant pain for one month. Clinical assessment and radiological investigations confirmed the presence of cholelithiasis with evidence of SIT. The patient underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy with no complication and he had an uneventful recovery. Various intraoperative modification has been made to overcome the technical difficulties encountered due to the underlying anatomical variation. DISCUSSION: Since the first successful laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patient with SIT performed in 1991, 85 cases have been reporsted in the literature. Surgeons managed to overcome the technical difficulties by adopting various modification in the techniques compared to the conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
conclusionThe anatomical variation in SIT can influence the localization of symptoms in patient with cholelithiasis leading to a delay in diagnosis and management. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be safely performed in these cases. However, it is considered technically challenging procedure and often requires alteration in the technique.
