Primary intraventricular synovial sarcoma of the brain with recurrence - case presentation.
Article in BMC neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundWe report a case of recurrent primary intraventricular synovial sarcoma of the brain with no extracranial primary, initially reported as a haemangiopericytoma. We believe this is the first reported case of primary intraventricular synovial sarcoma at this site. CASE PRESENTATION: A 27-year-old male presented to hospital with a new onset of seizures. Imaging revealed a left ventricular trigone mass with surrounding oedema. He underwent a left occipito-temporal craniotomy and resection with the histology reported as haemangiopericytoma. Resection was followed by adjuvant radiation treatment. Seven years later follow-up imaging revealed a 4 mm contrast enhancing lesion in the previous surgical bed. The patient underwent resection. Histological analysis of the recurrence revealed a spindle cell tumour with a SS18 gene rearrangement consistent with synovial sarcoma. Retrospective fluorescent in-situ hybridisation analysis of original histology also revealed a SS18 gene rearrangement consistent with a diagnosis of synovial sarcoma.
conclusionSynovial sarcoma should be included as part of the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with intraventricular spindle cell tumours in the brain.
