Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in Situs Inversus Totalis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Obesity prevalence is increasing with the modern lifestyle. Bariatric surgery is an excellent method to sustain weight reduction and the most commonly performed surgery is laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). The laparoscopic approach can be challenged in certain conditions such as situs inversus totalis (SIT). We report a 38-year-old gentleman with class II obesity known to have SIT. After complete preoperative preparation, we performed LSG with no complications. The main difficulty of performing any surgical procedure for SIT patients is the reversed anatomy. It is essential to highlight the importance of anatomy for surgeons. Proper preoperative anatomy assessment along with the surgeon's experience is the key element to perform LSG or any bariatric laparoscopic procedure in rare conditions such as SIT.
