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 sarcomas are malignant soft tissue tumors that carry a metastatic potential and portend poor prognoses. We report a very rare synovial sarcoma arising from the tibial nerve and describe its successful treatment including limb preservation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the 40th reported incident of intraneural synovial sarcoma, and only the fourth arising from the tibial nerve. Extensive resection of synovial sarcoma arising in the popliteal region is difficult, particularly when limb preservation is desired. Ours is the first reported patient treated for tibial nerve-derived synovial sarcoma whose limbs were preserved.
