Videothoracoscopic Left Upper Lobectomy for Lung Cancer in a Case of Situs Inversus Totalis.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The coexistence of situs inversus totalis (SIT) and lung cancer is exceedingly rare; therefore, only a single case report about this exists in the literature. Recent technological advancements in endoscopic surgery have allowed the execution of videothoracoscopic lung resection in these cases. However, the distinct placement of thoracic structures, bronchovascular anatomy, and additional anomalies in SIT should be investigated using bronchoscopy and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). We present a case report of a videothoracoscopic left upper lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection in a 50-year-old female patient with SIT.
