1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Liver cancer poses a major health burden worldwide. Therefore, surgical resection is an important treatment option for patients with liver cancer. In situs inversus totalis (SIT), a rare genetic condition, organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, and stomach are unpaired in the chest and abdominal cavity and their positions are opposite their usual positions. Case presentation: We report a case of SIT with a tumor in the right posterior lobe of the liver in a 70-year-old man. This patient was successfully treated with laparoscopic resection. Conclusions: This case emphasizes that laparoscopic hepatectomy, comprising comprehensive preoperative preparation and fine intraoperative cooperation, is safe and feasible in patients with SIT.
