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

Background: Primary intracranial synovial sarcomas (PrISS) are unusual dural based mesenchymal tumors seen most commonly in the supratentorial compartment. They can mimic a spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage or a high-grade glioma on imaging. Case Description: A 31-year-old male presented with headache and right hemiparesis for 2 weeks. CT brain revealed a left frontal spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. PrISS revealed a heterogeneously ring enhancing solid cystic lesion with attachment to convexity dura. Intraoperatively, it mimicked a high-grade glioma. Histopathology report showed features of a synovial sarcoma, which was later confirmed with IHC. Classical SYT-SSX2 translocation was confirmed only on RTPCR after fluorescent Conclusion: PrISS is an unusual aggressive intracranial neoplasm that carries a worse prognosis when compared nonintracranial synovial sarcomas. Molecular cytogenetics (FISH and RTPCR) are essential for confirming the diagnosis, though FISH seems to have a lower sensitivity and can yield false negative results as was noted in this case.
