None that I know of unless you make your own. The straight edge types some of which come with a sled onto which the saw or a router can be mounted seem to cost well in excess of a hundred bucks and there are more expensive devices which mount a circular saw and turn it into a sort of panel saw for much more money.
The simplest and lowest cost sort are the home made type where you cut a width of half inch or so plywood and fix a wider thin piece say quarter inch plywood or masonite to it then run the saw along the edge of the half inch plywood cutting off the thinner wood to the exact distance of the edge of the lade. This jig can then be clamped to the material to be cut and measured to the edge of the thin wood for accurate cutting allowing for the thickness of the blade and all. This is easily the cheapest method. There are aluminium straight edged devices you can buy for around thirty bucks which come complete with a pair of small clamps which you can clamp down and follow with the shoe of the saw too or, as I frequently do, just use the factory edge of another piece of plywood. Hope this is helpful.
