Minimally invasive surgical treatment for sigmoid colon cancer in a patient with situs inversus totalis: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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) is a rare congenital condition characterized by a complete reversal of the internal organ arrangement, presenting significant surgical challenges. While previous cases of colorectal cancer in SIT patients have been reported, cases involving sigmoid colon cancer are sporadic. Here, we present the case of a 68-year-old female with sigmoid colon cancer and SIT. Following thorough preoperative preparation and a multidisciplinary team (MDT) consultation, the patient successfully underwent a laparoscopic radical sigmoidectomy. Her postoperative recovery was smooth, and she was discharged on postoperative day 10. At the 3-month follow-up, no short-term complications or signs of tumor recurrence were observed. This case highlights the importance of meticulous surgeon positioning in facilitating laparoscopic surgery for patients with SIT.
