Successful Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography for Management of Choledocholithiasis in a Patient With Situs Inversus Totalis: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Gastro hep advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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 is a rare congenital disorder defined by the transposition of all viscera to the opposite side of the body. Because of this anatomical alteration, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in such a population is significantly challenging. Herein we report a case of a 50-year-old woman presented with epigastric and left upper quadrant pain. Preoperative examination revealed abnormal liver chemistries, situs inversus totalis, and multiple distal common bile duct stones with intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct dilatation on abdominal ultrasound. The patient underwent a successful ERCP to relieve biliary obstruction. It was performed while the patient was placed in a supine position with the endoscopist standing on the left side of the patient. The major emphasis in ERCP is adjusting the patient and endoscopist positions during the procedure. The advantage of the supine position is that the endoscope could easily reach the pyloric ring and, after reaching the duodenum, the papilla could be reached without difficulty.
