Case Report: Transvaginal specimen extraction following totally laparoscopic D2 distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer in a patient with situs inversus totalis: with video.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Because of its significant advantage of fast postoperative recovery, natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) has attracted increasing attention worldwide. However, the NOSES in gastric cancer (GC) treatment still needs more clinical practice, especially for the rare anatomical anomaly. Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare autosomal recessive anatomical anomaly with an incidence ranging between 1/8,000 and 1/25,000 births. We present a video of transvaginal specimen extraction following totally laparoscopic D2 distal gastrectomy performed in a 59-year-old woman known to have SIT. Preoperative investigations revealed that the patient had early GC at the antrum. A gastroscopy report from the local hospital showed signet-ring cell carcinoma. The preoperative computed tomography scan revealed irregular thickening of the gastric wall at the junction of the greater curvature and antrum without metastasis to the lymph nodes. In total, laparoscopic D2 distal gastrectomy was performed with transvaginal specimen extraction. Billroth II with Braun anastomosis was performed for reconstruction. The length of the operation was 240 min without intraoperative complications and with minimal blood loss of 50 ml. The patient was uneventfully discharged on postoperative Day 7. The final pathology confirmed signet-ring cell carcinoma confined to the mucosal muscle without metastasis in 16 lymph nodes. Transvaginal specimen extraction following totally laparoscopic D2 distal gastrectomy can be safely performed in patients with SIT and has similar surgical outcomes to usual laparoscopic gastrectomy.
