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

Primary cardiac synovial sarcoma (PCSS) is an exceedingly rare tumor. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of six novel PCSS cases identified within our institutional cohort, compared with published literature cohorts, focusing on their clinical presentations, histopathological features, immunohistochemical and molecular characteristics, therapeutic interventions, and prognosis. Our institutional cohort included five male and one female patients, with a median age of 44 years. Presenting symptoms included dyspnea, chest tightness, back pain, and syncope. Tumors were located in the pericardium (four cases) and the cardiac wall (two cases). The tumor size ranged from 2.0 to 14.5 cm. Histopathologically, four cases were monophasic and two were biphasic. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed consistent expression of TLE1, vimentin, and BCL-2. Molecular analysis confirmed the presence of the
