A Case Report of Laparoscopic Left-Sided Appendectomy in a Child With Situs Inversus.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Acute appendicitis classically elicits right-sided abdominal pain. Abdominal pain in patients with situs inversus may create a diagnostic challenge. We share a case of a seven-year-old boy who presented to the emergency department with left lower quadrant abdominal pain and tenderness. A chest x-ray showed dextrocardia and an abdominal ultrasound confirmed left-sided appendicitis. Diagnostic laparoscopy and appendectomy were uneventful. Thorough peri-operative evaluation and planning are key to a successful outcome in this rare condition.
