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

backgroundSitus inversus viscerum (SIV) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized a complete mirror-image organ reversal in the thoracic and abdominal cavities. Its low incidence presents considerable challenges in clinical diagnosis and treatment, especially concerning gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures. CASE SUMMARY: Herein, we report a case of an 80-year-old male with choledocholithiasis and acute obstructive empyematous cholangitis. Imaging revealed total visceral inversion in the patient. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was successfully performed to remove the stones, resulting to substantial relief of clinical symptoms and gradual improvement of the patient's condition, leading to successful recovery and discharge.

conclusionTherapeutic ERCP is a safe and effective surgical option for patients with SIV. The main focus for successful ERCP in patients with SIV includes positioning adjustments during the surgical process and using the dual-guidewire technique for biliary cannulation.
