Synovial sarcoma of the maxillary sinus - A rare condition managed with a rationalized surgery.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionand importance: Synovial sarcoma is a type of spindle cell tumors with unknown cellular origin. It can present anywhere throughout the body; however, its onset in the maxillary sinus is an extremely rare condition, making it hard to diagnose. This tumor occurs equally, without predilection for males or females, and the incidence peaks in the age of 35. The diagnosis is confirmed by histopathological study, and the main treatment is complete surgical excision. CASE PRESENTATION: We are reporting a case of a 53-year-old male with a left sided hearing loss accompanied by a left sided nasal block and a vague facial and dental pain. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed a heterogeneously enhancing tumor in the maxillary sinus that extended to the pterygopalatine fossa and other surrounding structures, and a biopsy showed the tumor to be a synovial sarcoma. The tumor was managed with a less aggressive curative surgery, and was put on an adjuvant radiotherapy, and is being followed regularly; with no recurrence 5 months after therapy.
conclusionIn conclusion, we are writing this report to introduce a case of synovial sarcoma in a rare location that was managed by a "cosmetically oriented" curative surgery, satisfactory results and prognosis.
