Robot-Assisted Sigmoidectomy 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 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 anomaly characterized by a complete mirror-image transposition of thoracic and abdominal organs. Surgery in such patients is technically challenging because of the reversed anatomy, and only a few cases of robot-assisted surgery (RS) for colon cancer in SIT have been reported. We report a rare case of robot-assisted sigmoidectomy with radical lymph node dissection for sigmoid colon cancer in a 31-year-old woman with SIT. The patient presented with abdominal pain and hematochezia, and was diagnosed with sigmoid colon cancer at a previous hospital. Further examination at our institution confirmed SIT, and a robot-assisted sigmoidectomy was successfully performed with modified port placement to accommodate the mirrored anatomy. The procedure was completed safely, and the patient was discharged without complications. RS can be a safe and effective approach for patients with anatomical anomalies such as SIT.
