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

rationaleSitus inversus totalis (SIT), a congenital anomaly characterized by the mirror-image inversion of thoracic and abdominal viscera, necessitates a cautious approach in the diagnosis and treatment of patients presenting with symptomatic cholelithiasis. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the preferred procedure for gallbladder removal in SIT patients, achieves favorable outcomes through thorough preoperative planning, a deep understanding of anatomy, and intraoperative adaptability. PATIENT CONCERNS: Herein, we present the case of a 51-year-old female patient in SIT who underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy without complications due to choledocholithiasis and gallbladder stones. DIAGNOSIS: Gallbladder stone; SIT.

interventionslaparoscopic cholecystectomy. OUTCOMES: No complications such as bleeding or bile leakage (after LC) was detected. The patient was discharged after 2 days and recovered well after 1-year follow-up. LESSONS: Thorough preoperative surgical planning, a deep understanding of anatomy, and the ability to adapt flexibly during surgery are key to the success of the operation.
