Coexistence of situs inversus totalis and hepatocellular carcinoma: A series of nine cases and a literature review.
Article in Journal of interventional medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most commonly diagnosed carcinoma and one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a congenital condition where in the internal organs of the abdomen and thorax lie in mirror images of their normal position. Thus far, there are very few reports on cases of SIT coexisting with HCC. Our case series is probably the largest series in world literature. The cohort of this retrospective study included a total of nine patients diagnosed with SIT-HCC and treated in our hospital between January 2013 and May 2018. Clinical characteristics, prognostic factors, and outcomes were summarized. Treatment strategies included surgery, transarterial chemoembolization, and microwave ablation. The diagnosis and treatment of patients with SIT are challenging because of organ reversion. The current treatment strategies for different stages of liver cancer are safe and feasible for patients with SIT-HCC.
