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

backgroundSitus inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital condition in which the thoracic and abdominal organs are inverted like a mirror image. CASE REPORT: We present a case of synchronous gastric cancer and gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) associated with SIT in a 74-year-old man who was admitted to our department to treat gastric cancer. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a depressed lesion and a submucosal tumor (SMT) in the middle-third of the stomach. Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed complete inversion of the internal organs, and the common hepatic artery branched from the superior mesenteric artery. The patient underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with regional lymph node dissection and Billroth I reconstruction. The macroscopic observation of the resected specimen revealed a depressed lesion measuring 2.0×1.5 cm in diameter and an SMT measuring 2.2×1.8 cm.

conclusionCareful preoperative anatomic evaluation is important in SIT because the situs anomalies may be accompanied by major vascular anomalies.
