Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma metastatic to the brain.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. 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) has a predilection for the peripheral extremities, and brain metastases are rare, with only a few cases reported after the initial diagnosis. We present a 22-year-old male patient with a right orbital-ethmoidal ARMS who presented with a recurrence to the brain 1 year after the initial diagnosis. He was referred to our institution due to acute neurological deterioration. A brain MRI was performed, showing an enhancing bilateral parafalcine lesion centred about the bilateral cingulate gyri with extension into the corpus callosum. The patient was taken to the operating room for a stereotactic biopsy under general anaesthesia, which was compatible with metastatic ARMS. Our case is exceedingly rare, considering the initial diagnosis of an orbital/ethmoidal ARMS, its subsequent metastasis to the brain and its clinical sequelae after a biopsy. Prognosis after cerebral metastatic ARMS is dismal, with most patients expiring due to central nervous system metastatic disease.
