1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a common soft tissue sarcoma in childhood, however, it is very rare in the neonatal period (0.4-2% of cases). This case depicts a boy, who presented with RMS at two weeks of age, but officially diagnosed at the age of three months. MRI and scintigraphy determined a soft tissue tumor in the soleus muscle, while biopsy confirmed embryonal RMS with high mitotic activity (Ki67 (monoclonal antibodies) ~80%). CWS (Cooperative Weichteilsarkom Studiengruppe)-2012 with I2VA (ifosfamide, vincristine, actinomycin) chemotherapy regimen was administered per protocol. Surgical treatment was performed at age of six months and 18 days. The operation consisted of radical tumor resection and total triceps surae with partial fibula resection. Immediate reconstruction of triceps muscle was accomplished using a vascularized functional musculocutaneous vastus lateralis flap. Functional outcome was measured using the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) and the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) with the results of 92.5% and 99% respectively.
