Primary alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of retrorectal-presacral space in an adult patient: A case report of an uncommon tumor with rare presentation.

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
rationaleRhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) has known as a highly malignant soft tissue sarcoma, representing 5% to 10% of all solid tumors in childhood. Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) of the retrorectal-presacral space is an extremely rare lesion for adult, no study has been reported in the English literature. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 51-year-old male presented with abdominal pain for 1 month, significantly worse when having a bowel movement. DIAGNOSIS: Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pelvis showed a solid-cystic, enhancing lesion of dimension located in retrorectal-presacral space. The surgical specimen was reported as ARMS after pathological evaluation.
interventionsThe tumor was complete surgical resection, and after surgery, the patient was treated with combination chemotherapy. OUTCOMES: At 23 months follow up, the patient was asymptomatic with no evidence of metastases or local recurrence. LESSONS: Improvements in imaging in addition to early surgical intervention and chemotherapy treatment are crucial to improve survival chances against RMS.
