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: This investigation studied the clinical features and outcomes of synovial sarcoma (SS) patients from a single institution. Methods: A retrospective clinicopathologic study was conducted on 129 postoperative SS patients during 2003-2018. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional hazards regression (Cox) models were performed to determine the parameters associated with recurrence-free survival (RFS), metastasis-free survival (MFS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS) via univariate and multivariate analysis. The impact of unplanned excision (UE) and residual tumor in re-excision specimens was evaluated. Results: The 3-year RFS, MFS and 5-year CSS were 72 %, 70 %, and 76 %, respectively. Independent factors associated with significantly inferior survival included older age, UE without re-excision, UE with residual tumors, high grade, and deep tumor for RFS, trunk-related tumor, UE without re-excision, UE with residual tumors, and deep tumor for MFS, UE with residual tumors, high grade, and deep tumor for CSS. Re-excision after UE was significantly associated with better RFS ( Conclusion: UE and residual tumors have a marked impact on the long-term survival of SS patients. Primary wide excision and re-excision is especially essential for patients at stage II.
