1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 congenital condition where the organs of the thorax and abdomen are arranged in a mirror image reversal of their normal position. Patients with SIT present unique challenges in surgical procedures, particularly in laparoscopic surgeries, due to the need to reverse the operator's perspective, technical difficulty in handling the instruments, anatomical variations, and an increased risk of intraoperative complications. In this case report, we present the first case in the English literature of a 49-year-old Arabic male patient with SIT who underwent a successful right laparoendoscopic single-site surgery donor nephrectomy. We described the surgical technique used and highlighted the key challenges faced and overcome during the procedure.
