Symmetrical triangle sequence from polynomials: q(x,n)=-((-1)^n*(Sum[(k + 1)^n*x^k/k^2, {k, 1, Infinity}] - PolyLog[2, x])*(x - 1)^(n - 1) + (-1)^n*n *(-1 + x)^(n - 1) Log[1 - x])/x; p(x,n)=q(x,n)+x^n*q(1/x,n).

Row sums are: 2*n!;
{2, 2, 4, 12, 48, 240, 1440, 10080, 80640, 725760,...}.
It was very difficult to separate out the polynomial from the Log and PolyLog terms.
This term:
(-1)^n*n *(-1 + x)^(n - 1) Log[1 - x];
is very strange.
General polynomials based on sums of the sort:
Sum[(k + 1)^n*x^k/k^m, {k, 1, Infinity}];m=Integer
that are Zeta[m] like probably exist.
FORMULA
q(x,n)=-((-1)^n*(Sum[(k + 1)^n*x^k/k^2, {k, 1, Infinity}] - PolyLog[2, x])*(x - 1)^(n - 1)
+ (-1)^n*n *(-1 + x)^(n - 1) Log[1 - x])/x;
p(x,n)=q(x,n)+x^n*q(1/x,n);
t(n,m)=coefficients(p(x,n)).
