Index case of synovial metastasis in a patient with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.
Review in BMJ case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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 metastasis is a rare presentation with only a few reported cases in the published literature. A majority of cases of malignant synovitis have a primary lung or colorectal origin. It carries a poor prognosis with an average survival of approximately 5 months from diagnosis. The treatment options are limited to palliative approaches, which highlight the aggressive nature of the presentation as well as the necessity for early recognition. We report an index case of synovial metastasis of the knee joint in a patient with progressive transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and review the literature with respect to synovial metastasis.
