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

introductionSynovial sarcoma is a relatively common high-grade soft-tissue sarcoma. This lesion accounts for 5-10 % of soft-tissue sarcomas, which tend to appear in the limbs, especially the lower limbs. Synovial sarcoma in the neck is rare and causes involvement of the head and neck in 6-7 % of cases. Intraosseous involvement of the mandible is rare. In this report, a rare intraosseous synovial sarcoma of the mandible is reported. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 29-year-old man with a complaint of painless outgrowth of the gingiva in the posterior region of the left mandible. In the intraoral examination, an exophytic, firm, smooth and well-defined lobulated mass on the alveolar ridge, extending from distal of the second premolar to mesial of the second molar, was observed. On a radiographic examination, a radiolucent lesion with an ill-defined border was seen in the left body of the mandibular with perforation of the buccal cortex. In a histological examination, immunohistochemistry confirmed synovial sarcoma. The patient underwent surgery with wide margins, and radiotherapy after surgery. DISCUSSION: The main treatment method is surgery with a wide margin. Radiotherapy as an adjuvant treatment along with surgery is the second most common treatment method. Radiotherapy is recommended in cases of involvement of the margin of the lesion, size greater than 5 cm, and recurrence of the lesion. Chemotherapy after surgery has been used less frequently.

conclusionSurgical resection with a wide margin is the main treatment. Adjuvant radiation therapy and chemotherapy can be helpful in tumor control, especially in monophasic cases.
