Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in a Patient With Situs Inversus: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 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
Situs inversus (SI) is an autosomal recessive congenital abnormality in which there is a complete mirror reversal of visceral organs. In this article, we present the case of a 26-year-old male with a past medical history of suicidal ideations, gallstones, and SI who complained of left upper quadrant pain for two weeks. After admission for acute cholecystitis, he underwent a successful laparoscopic cholecystectomy without postoperative complications. Due to the anatomical deviation characteristic of SI, it can be challenging for surgeons to accurately diagnose and perform laparoscopic cholecystectomies. Careful consideration must be given when deciding to do a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, as the placement of not only the trocars and surgical instruments but also the position of the surgeon and assistants needs to be deliberated.
