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

A rare case was demonstrated whereby a prophylactic laparoscopic total gastrectomy was performed in a 29-year-old male with a CDH1 gene mutation in the context of rare anatomical anomaly, situs inversus totalis (SIT). This report provides radiological and laparoscopic images detailing the patient's unique anatomy. We also describe the operative approach and technical challenges whilst accounting for the patient's anatomical anomaly. This is the first known case of a laparoscopic total gastrectomy for a CDH1 gene mutation in a patient with SIT. With sufficient pre-operative evaluation and meticulous intra-operative caution, this technically complex operation is safe and feasible in patients with mirror-image anatomy as seen in SIT.
