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

Situs ambiguous is a rare congenital condition characterized by the abnormal arrangement of thoracoabdominal organs along the left-right axis. This condition often presents as either left or right isomerism, leading to complex anatomical variations and associated clinical challenges. We present the case of a 44-year-old female who was incidentally discovered to have situs ambiguous with polysplenia and left atrial appendage isomerism during the evaluation of abdominal pain and urinary symptoms caused by a ureteral calculus. Notably, the patient exhibited normal bronchopulmonary anatomy. The patient underwent a ureteroscopy, laser lithotripsy, stone extraction, and right ureteral stent placement. The patient was discharged shortly thereafter. We believe our case underscores the critical importance of recognizing the potential dissociation between thoracic and abdominal isomerism. It also highlights the need for further investigation into the embryological processes that contribute to these unusual presentations.
