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

Nasal spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma is very rare. The tumor is sometimes confused with other spindle cell tumors. We herein report a case of nasal spindle cell tumor in a 62-year-old woman. The patient first presented herself to a medical doctor's office after an episode of left epistaxis. An intranasal tumor was found and resected. The tumor was composed of spindle cells, and she was diagnosed with desmoid-type fibromatosis. Five years after the initial episode, an intranasal tumor was found again. The tumor showed a fascicular growth pattern with high cellularity and was predominantly composed of spindle cells. Scattered eosinophilic rhabdomyoblasts were also observed. She was diagnosed with spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma. This is a unique case report not only because nasal spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma is very rare but also because the tumor was initially diagnosed as desmoid-type fibromatosis. It is important to consider spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma as a differential diagnosis of nasal spindle cell tumors.
