A Case of Primary Synovial Sarcoma of the Posterior Mediastinum: From Diagnostic Challenges to the Surgical Approach.
Article in Journal of chest surgery, 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
Primary synovial sarcoma of the mediastinum is an extremely rare and aggressive neoplasm that, in most cases, develops in young adults and is characterized by symptoms such as shortness of breath, cough, and chest pain. Diagnosis is challenging due to the atypical location of the tumor. The differential diagnosis is broad, and immunohistochemistry combined with molecular cytogenetic analysis represents the key diagnostic approach. Surgery remains the treatment of choice for these patients, with the addition of adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy. We report a rare case of primary synovial sarcoma of the posterior mediastinum in a 33-year-old woman presenting with airway and vascular compression. The diagnosis was confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization, demonstrating SS18 translocation. Complete surgical excision with aortic wall reconstruction under cardiopulmonary bypass was performed. The patient remains disease-free following adjuvant therapy.
