Breaking Anatomical Barriers: Drainage of a Pancreatic Pseudocyst in Situs Inversus-A Rare Coincidence.
Article in Euroasian journal of hepato-gastroenterology. 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
Background: Pancreatic pseudocysts are a frequent complication of pancreatitis, usually managed by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage. Rare anatomical variants such as situs inversus may complicate endoscopic management. Case history: A 45-year-old male with alcohol-related pancreatitis presented with early satiety and an epigastric bulge. Imaging revealed situs inversus with a large pseudocyst compressing the stomach. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage was not feasible due to the unstable position in reversed anatomy. After unsuccessful attempts in left lateral and prone positions, cystogastrostomy was achieved in the supine position using a side-view endoscope, with placement of a double pigtail plastic stent. The patient improved, developed transient low-grade fever, was managed conservatively, and was discharged. At 4 weeks, the stent had passed spontaneously, and CT confirmed complete resolution. Conclusion: This is the first reported case of pseudocyst drainage in situs inversus performed using an ERCP scope in the supine position, demonstrating technical adaptability.
