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 relatively common intermediate-to-high-grade malignant soft tissue tumors, often with an initial indolent course. And among the sarcomas primary intra-abdominal synovial sarcoma is a relatively rare entity that may present with an abdominal mass and diagnosis is usually confirmed by immunohistochemistry. The authors report a case of a 46-year-old man who presented with a large palpable abdominal mass. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan showed a large well-defined heterogeneous intra-abdominal mass filling the entire pelvis and extending upwards till the subhepatic region causing displacement of intra-abdominal organs. However, no other focal lesions were seen in the solid organs. The same findings were confirmed on surgery. Histopathology was suggestive of desmoid tumor/hemangiopericytoma. Immunohistochemistry showed positive markers corresponding to synovial sarcoma. The patient was advised to undergo chemotherapy which was refused and follow-up was lost. After 10 months, patient presented for follow-up CT, which showed marked increase in size of the lesion.
