Monophasic synovial sarcoma of the thigh in a 60-year-old patient: A rare case report and literature review.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2026. 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
Synovial sarcoma typically affects adolescents and young adults, and presentation in patients over 60 years is distinctly uncommon. We report a case of monophasic synovial sarcoma of the thigh in a 60-year-old woman, highlighting the diagnostic challenges associated with atypical age and nonspecific early clinical findings. MRI demonstrated a multilobulated soft-tissue mass with heterogeneous T2 signal, internal septations, and postcontrast enhancement consistent with high-grade sarcoma. Histopathology revealed a spindle-cell neoplasm with diffuse TLE1 and BCL2 positivity, and fluorescence in situ hybridization confirmed SS18-SSX fusion. The patient underwent wide surgical excision with negative margins and recovered uneventfully. This case emphasizes the importance of maintaining synovial sarcoma in the differential diagnosis of deep thigh masses in older adults, where imaging and molecular confirmation are essential to avoid misdiagnosis and treatment delay.
