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: Primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma (PPSS) is an extremely rare pulmonary malignancy and often poses diagnostic challenges, especially in differentiating it from benign tumors. Case presentation: A 46-year-old woman presented with a slowly enlarging, well-defined nodule in the right lower lobe of the lung. Positron emission tomography showed low FDG uptake (SUVmax 1.52), raising suspicion for a benign lesion. However, histopathologic examination following wedge resection revealed primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma. Subsequently, a right lower lobectomy was performed. The patient has remained recurrence-free for over one year. Conclusions: Surgical resection with clear margins is essential in the management of PPSS. This case highlights the difficulty in distinguishing PPSS from benign lung lesions based on imaging alone, underscoring the importance of pathological confirmation. Accumulation of more reported cases is needed to develop standardized treatment strategies.
