Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in Situs Inversus Totalis: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. 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
Situs inversus totalis is a rare condition characterized by the mirror image of the normal abdominal and thoracic viscera. Since the gallbladder is located in the left upper quadrant in this subset of patients, the diagnosis of symptomatic cholelithiasis poses a difficulty. Similarly, laparoscopic cholecystectomy in these patients is more demanding and presents technical challenges, especially for right-handed surgeons. Herein, we report a case of a 30-year-old female who was a known case of situs inversus totalis and was diagnosed with symptomatic cholelithiasis and subsequently underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy with an uneventful post-operative period. The challenge while performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients with situs inversus totalis calls for appropriate perioperative preparation and necessary modifications in the operative setup for the safe and successful operation of the patient, which is discussed in this report.
