Robotic hemi-colectomy for ascending colon cancer in a patient with situs inversus totalis.
Article in Surgical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundSitus inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital anomaly in which the thoracic and abdominal cavity structures are completely opposite to normal. Performing robot-assisted surgery in these patients is difficult because of these anomalies. A few reports have described robot-assisted surgery for rectal cancer in patients with SIT, but no reports to date have described robot-assisted surgery for colon cancer. CASE PRESENTATION: A 74-year-old female presented with abdominal pain and was diagnosed with ascending colon cancer and SIT. We carefully planned the surgical procedure and performed robot-assisted hemi-colectomy. Although we used unusual port placement, the operation was performed safely. The patient was discharged without any complications.
conclusionsRobot-assisted surgery is safe and efficient for patients with anatomical anomalies.
