Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in situs inversus totalis: a case report.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2023. 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
Obesity and being overweight are defined as abnormal and excessive fat accumulation, respectively. Obesity is defined as a BMI of 30 or higher. Sleeve gastrectomy, the most commonly performed bariatric surgery worldwide, is an effective treatment for obesity and its comorbidities. However, some cases, such as situs inversus, may present additional challenges for surgeons. Case Presentation: The authors present the case of a 28-year-old female scheduled for gastric sleeve surgery with a BMI of 49. During the preoperative evaluation, dextrocardia was evident, and a diagnosis of situs inversus totalis was made. The surgery was performed without complications in a high-volume hospital specializing in bariatric surgery. Clinical Discussion: Gastric sleeve surgery should be considered an effective and safe procedure in such patients as long as the surgeon is prepared, makes technical adjustments with their team, and has the necessary experience. Conclusion: Laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery is a safe procedure in patients with situs inversus, as long as it is performed by an experienced surgeon.
