Synovial sarcoma of the ethmoid sinus with extension to the cavernous sinus: a case report and literature review.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Synovial sarcomas are rare soft tissue tumors primarily affecting the extremities but can occasionally manifest in unusual locations such as the ethmoid sinus, posing diagnostic challenges. We present a case of a 38-year-old male with a 7-month history of recurrent throbbing headaches, left eye pain, and facial nerve palsy, evolving into multiple stroke episodes. Radiological studies showed extension to the cavernous sinus, raising an initial suspicion of vasculitis. Histological findings of an endoscopic biopsy, however, confirmed a monophasic synovial sarcoma. The patient was referred to a specialized center for further management. Unfortunately, he developed another stroke before receiving treatment. Management included chemotherapy and definitive radiation therapy targeting the ethmoid sinus. The patient is currently receiving ongoing palliative care for symptom management. This case underscores the importance of early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach in managing rare and aggressive tumors such as synovial sarcoma of the ethmoid sinus.
