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

Synovial cell sarcoma (SCS) of the kidney is a rare tumor entity with a poor prognosis. Morphologic and immunohistochemical characteristics may overlap with other more common neoplasms of the kidney. Therefore, the diagnosis of primary renal SCS not only requires the exclusion of similar tumor types, but also a confirmation of SYT-SSX gene fusion using molecular techniques. The treatment comprises radical surgery, and, depending on age and health status, adjuvant chemotherapy in selected patients. Here, we present an elderly SCS patient in whom straightforward radical surgical treatment resulted in a sustained complete remission; it allowed us to perform a literature survey focusing on current diagnostic tools for SCS.
