Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in situs inversus totalis-surgical technique and procedure safety using anatomical checkpoints.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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 totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital condition in which there is complete transposition of both the thoracic and abdominal viscera. Given how infrequently this abnormality is encountered, operating on patients with SIT can be technically difficult and challenging for the surgeon. This case report outlines the steps used to successfully carry out a laparoscopic cholecystectomy on a patient with SIT. The aim of this report is to highlight the technical difficulties encountered during this common surgical procedure. By sharing our operative experience, we hope to assist operating surgeons in their perioperative planning when faced with a similar case. Our approach to port placement, dissection of Calot's triangle, and achieving adequate tissue tension is discussed. Ultimately, we believe that advanced planning, anticipation of likely challenges, and knowledge of strategies to overcome these can only be beneficial to the safety of performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a patient with SIT.
