Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma of External Ear - A Rare Case Report.
Article in Annals of maxillofacial surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The Rationale: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is an uncommon tumour which presents at a wide variety of different head and neck sites. They are highly aggressive malignant mesenchymatous soft tissue sarcomas. Their occurrence in the outer ear is extremely rare. Patient Concerns: A 17-year-old female patient reported with a chief complaint of steady increase in growth over the left ear since 6 months, which is not associated with pain and ulceration. Diagnosis: Edge biopsy sections of the swelling over the left pinna and immunohistochemistry records of cells show MYODI positive confirming as Embryonal RMS. Treatment: Left auriculectomy and supra-omohyoid neck dissection with level V lymph node was performed. Outcomes: Uneventful postoperative healing in the resected site was elicited in the follow-up period of 1 year with no recurrence. Take-away Lessons: External ear RMS is extremely rare. Careful clinical, radiological and histopathological evaluation are essential for prompt definitive diagnosis and for successful management.
