Laparoscopic Anterior 180° Partial Fundoplication in Situs Inversus Totalis: Technical Considerations and Literature Review.

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 complete mirror-image transposition of thoracic and abdominal organs. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) secondary to hiatal hernia in such patients presents unique diagnostic and technical challenges for laparoscopic surgery. Literature review revealed only six previous cases of laparoscopic fundoplication in SIT, all employing Nissen fundoplication techniques. We report a 28-year-old female with SIT and symptomatic GERD who underwent successful laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair with anterior 180° partial fundoplication. The procedure required specific technical adaptations, including mirror-image port placement and modified suturing ergonomics to accommodate the reversed anatomy. Surgery was completed in 98 minutes without complications. At one-year follow-up, the patient achieved complete symptom resolution with excellent functional outcomes. This represents the first reported case of laparoscopic anterior partial fundoplication in SIT, demonstrating the feasibility and safety of this approach in patients with reversed anatomy when appropriate technical modifications are employed.
