Left-sided gallbladder 'sinistroposition' associated with an anatomical variant of cystic duct insertion: case report.
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. An erratum has been issued. 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
True left-sided gallbladder (LSGB) is a rare congenital anomaly with an incidence of 0.1-1.2%. It is more common in women than in men at a ratio of 5:1. Its etiology is unknown, although several theories have been proposed. The symptoms are similar to those of a normal gallbladder, which makes the preoperative diagnosis difficult despite imaging studies. In most cases, the diagnosis is achieved intraoperatively. LSGB is associated with biliary anomalies, and the incidence of biliary tract lesions is high. Four-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe procedure for LSGB. Surgical technique varies according to each case. Preoperative imaging studies have low sensitivity for diagnosis, and the surgeon should be familiar with ductal and vascular anatomical variants in addition to possessing the ability to change the conventional surgical technique to optimize the exposure and minimize the risk of bile duct injury.
