Left-sided cholecystitis in a patient with situs inversus totalis, complicated by portal venous malformations.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare autosomal recessive anomaly in which the thoracoabdominal viscerae are laterally transposed, introducing unique challenges in surgical scenarios. Only a few reports have demonstrated the treatment of cholecystitis in situs inversus, much less so in the context of portal vascular anomalies. We present the case of a 41-year-old female presenting to the emergency department with right upper quadrant pain, and subsequently found to have left-sided cholecystitis complicated by SIT with portal venous malformations on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and abdominal computed tomography. Initially, she was referred for open cholecystectomy however due to the lack of symptoms and the presence of a tortuous recanalized portal vein presenting multiple thrombotic complications, an expectant approach was adopted. Thus, imaging remains the gold-standard to diagnose SIT and consideration of all congenital risk factors to cholecystectomy is crucial to avoid post-operative complications.
