Bilateral Proptosis as an Unusual Presentation of Adult-Onset Alveolar-Type Rhabdomyosarcoma of Ethmoid Sinus: A Case Report.

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
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) exhibits varying degrees of clinical manifestations, and one of the determining factors is its primary site of origin. Ocular proptosis is an infrequent presentation of parameningeal RMS. The growing tumor in spacious environments such as air-filled sinuses can obscure its early detection, leading to late disease intervention. Among the four subtypes (embryonal, leiomyomatous, sclerosing and spindle cell, and alveolar), the predominant type of RMS in the paranasal sinuses is alveolar. The incidence in adult-onset RMS is relatively low compared with those of children. We herein present a rare case of a 23-year-old man with an unusual presentation of bilateral proptosis from alveolar RMS of the ethmoid sinus. In contrast to our patient, most reported cases of ocular involvement in RMS turned out to be unilateral and responded poorly to treatment. Despite the aggressive behavior of the adult-onset alveolar subtype in comparable reports, our case shows an excellent outcome. Negative
