1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Primary pulmonary synovial sarcomas represent a rare clinical entity and account for approximately 0.5% of lung malignancies. We report the case of a 30-year-old male who presented clinically with haemothorax. Imaging revealed a complex collection obscuring a multi-lobulated mass in the right lower lobe of the lung. He underwent a right thoracotomy for evacuation of collection and surgical resection of his pulmonary mass. Histological analysis confirmed a grade 3 monophasic fibrous synovial sarcoma of the lung with infiltration to adjacent pleura, causing his initial haemothorax. Postoperative period was uneventful and patient was referred to the oncology team for further management. Primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma, though rare, should remain an important differential when considering lung malignancies, as complete surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment.
