Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in Situs Inversus Totalis With Combined Indocyanine Green Fluorescence and Conventional Cholangiography: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 (SIT), a complete form of situs inversus of the viscera, is a rare congenital anomaly that presents technical challenges during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) due to mirror-image anatomy. We report a case of a 75-year-old female with known SIT and symptomatic cholelithiasis. After initial conservative management and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for biliary sludge, elective LC was performed. A modified mirrored American-style port configuration was used, including a caudally placed left mid-clavicular port for right-hand dissection. Biliary navigation was enhanced by combining indocyanine green fluorescence cholangiography (ICG-FC) with conventional intraoperative cholangiography (IOC). ICG-FC allowed real-time identification of the cystic and common bile ducts, while IOC clearly delineated the common hepatic duct and confirmed the absence of residual stones. The operation was completed uneventfully in 108 minutes with 5 mL blood loss, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day three without complications. This case demonstrates that LC in SIT can be performed safely with meticulous preoperative planning, adapted port placement, and complementary imaging strategies. The integration of ICG-FC and IOC contributed to surgical safety by improving biliary visualization and minimizing the risk of injury.
