Situs Inversus Totalis in Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 is a pathology that is increasing in incidence globally and threatens public health. Currently, one of its most effective treatments is bariatric surgery, which has shown the best long-term results. One of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in this area is laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) or vertical sleeve. It is a restrictive technique that has had positive results in weight loss. Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a strange condition with a low incidence in which thoracic and abdominal organs are on the opposite side of the already-known anatomic site, seen on a sagittal plane. The high demand for laparoscopic bariatric surgeries predisposes surgeons to find rare congenital anomalies in patients. Low prevalence and the anatomic mirror image condition may be challenging even for expert surgeons. Medical teams need to have knowledge of these cases and adjust the technique and procedure to complete the surgery without complications. We present a SIT case successfully treated with LSG in a male patient in Mexico.
