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

backgroundSynovial sarcoma is an uncommon soft tissue malignancy that mainly occurs near tendon sheath and bone joints. Primary intra-abdominal location is exceedingly rare and characterized by non-specific clinical signs. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a young female without medical history who presented with acute abdominopelvic pain. Ultrasound echography revealed a right mass measuring 7 cm in greater diameter cystic with solid areas, likely of ovarian origin. A coelioscopy with peritoneal biopsies was performed. Histological examination with immunohistochemistry concluded the diagnosis of GIST. The patient was referred to the surgery department and after laboratory routine analysis and computed tomography, the patient was proposed to surgical management. Per-operative findings revealed a mesenteric mass locally invading the greater omentum and the appendicular wall. Pathological examination with immunochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of mesenteric monophasic synovial sarcoma invading the appendicular wall with positive surgical margins. Chemotherapy was proposed with a good response. Our patient is free from disease 9 months later.

conclusionsWe aimed through this case report to discuss mesenteric presentation monophasic SS, mimicking ovarian malignancy, emphasizing clinicopathological features and differential diagnoses.
