Robotic-Assisted Ascending Hemicolectomy for Colon Cancer in a Patient With Situs Inversus Totalis: 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. Cited by 3 papers.
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
We present a case of robotic-assisted ascending hemicolectomy in an 82-year-old woman with situs inversus totalis. The patient underwent a screening colonoscopy, during which a polypoid lesion in the ascending colon was discovered. Biopsy results revealed a tubular adenoma with high-grade dysplasia. An ascending hemicolectomy with radical lymphadenectomy was subsequently performed, leading to a final diagnosis of a tubulovillous adenoma with focal intramucosal carcinoma, negative for metastatic disease. The challenges related to instrument handling during surgery in patients with situs inversus totalis can be mitigated by using a robotic approach, which preserves the efficiency of laparoscopic techniques. This report highlights the importance of robotic surgery in managing complex procedures in patients with anatomical variations or other technical challenges.
