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

The lung is the organ most commonly affected by primary synovial sarcoma. Intratumoral calcification is less common in this organ versus soft tissue. Meanwhile, the presence of calcification in a lung nodule reduces the risk of lung cancer. Here, we report a case of pulmonary synovial sarcoma which manifested as a nodule with calcification, depicted on computed tomography (CT). A 52-year-old asymptomatic male was referred to Saitama Medical University International Medical Center and CT revealed a well-defined nodule (1.8 cm), with punctate and eccentric calcification in the right lower lobe. Enhanced CT and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography suggested a malignant tumor, and surgery was performed. Histology provided a preliminary diagnosis of monophasic spindle-cell synovial sarcoma with hyalinized collagen bands and calcifications. Genetically, the presence of the SYT-SSX2 fusion gene was consistent with the features of this disease. We conclude that primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma should be listed as a differential diagnosis for solitary pulmonary nodules with calcification.
