A case of primary tarsal sinus synovial sarcoma.
Article in Diagnostic pathology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPrimary intra-articular synovial sarcoma is a rare condition that is frequently misdiagnosed due to its indolent growth pattern and similarity to other common joint disorders. CASE PRESENTATION: A 48-year-old Chinese woman presented with a 3-year history of recurrent pain and limited mobility in her left ankle. She had previously been misdiagnosed with conditions such as ankle sprain, synovitis, or tarsal sinus syndrome. After undergoing arthroscopic synovectomy, pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of synovial sarcoma.
conclusionPrimary intra-articular synovial sarcoma is an exceedingly rare and often misdiagnosed condition. It's slow growth and clinical overlap with other joint pathologies contribute to diagnostic challenges. Accurate diagnosis relies on comprehensive evaluation, particularly when clinical manifestations deviate from typical presentations. A high index of suspicion and thorough pathological assessment are essential for timely and accurate diagnosis.
