Descending colon cancer in a patient with situs inversus totalis: a case report and literature review.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 a congenital disorder of anatomical position, and the operation of patients with total visceral inversion often brings great challenges to surgeons. Although there have been previously documented on patients with SIT and colonic cancer, this is the first case report of descending colon cancer in patient with SIT. The current report presents a case of a 67-year-old female patient with descending colon cancer and SIT. After preoperative preparation and discussion, open left hemicolectomy was performed for the patient. The postoperative recovery of the patient was smooth; however, there was a mild lymphatic leakage in the patient, which was cured by conservative treatment for 5 days. The patient was discharged on postoperative Day 10. There was no tumor recurrence or other discomfort in 1 year follow-up period.
