Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma with unusual cytogenetic findings: one more case and review of the literature.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS), a histological subtype of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), is characterized by an unfavorable clinical outcome. In most ARMS cases, an indicative chromosomal alteration is identified. The recurrent translocation of FKHR with either PAX3 or PAX7 genes results in the encoding of chimeric transcription factors that boost tumorigenesis. Besides structural mutations, the copy number of these genes also contributes to the oncogenic activity. In our case, a 12-year-old female patient was diagnosed with a 4 cm pelvic mass. Histopathological examination indicated an alveolar type of RMS. Subsequent FISH analysis with a dual color break-apart probe identified positive signals of FKHR3 gene break, as well as the rare event of a synchronous aneuploidy and gene deletion of FKHR. Our findings lead to the conclusion that a systematic break-apart probe FKHR FISH analysis in ARMS, confirms the diagnosis and elucidates the full spectrum of genomic alterations of this malignancy.
