Navigating Mirror Anatomy: Successful Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrojejunostomy Tube Placement in Situs Inversus.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Situs inversus (SI) is a rare congenital laterality disorder characterized by complete mirror-image reversal of the thoracoabdominal organs. Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy with jejunal extension is commonly indicated for postpyloric enteral nutrition but has not previously been described in patients with SI. We report a case of successful bedside percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy (PEGJ) tube placement in a 60-year-old woman with primary ciliary dyskinesia and complete SI following bilateral lung transplantation. Preprocedural imaging confirmed mirror-image anatomy. PEGJ tube placement was performed endoscopically using a gastrostomy tube with jejunal extension and required technical modifications to accommodate the reversed anatomy. We demonstrate that PEGJ tube placement in patients with SI is feasible and safe with appropriate preprocedural planning and adaptive endoscopic techniques. Awareness of the altered anatomy, careful site selection, and flexibility in tube advancement strategies are essential to minimize complications and ensure procedural success.
