Primary alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma in the stomach of an adult: A case report.
Article in Oncology letters, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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) is more common in children and rare in adults. A small number of cases in the stomach of an adult have been documented. The present study describes a case of primary gastric ARMS in a 20-year-old healthy female. The patient was admitted to Handan Central Hospital (Handan, China) with intermittent abdominal pain for >1 month, which was noticeable and progressively worsened after meals, with black stools. Gastroscopy revealed a 2.5-cm ulcer on the side of the greater curvature of the gastric body, and a pathological biopsy revealed a neuroendocrine neoplasm. An enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan indicated a thickening and an ulcerated mass measuring ~4.5×2.0 cm at the gastric body, with the tumor showing poor enhancement. Finally, a laparoscopic distal gastrectomy was performed. The postoperative pathology combined with immunohistochemical staining indicated that the patient had primary alveolar RMS of the stomach. The present case suggests that an early diagnosis of gastric adenoid RMS is extremely difficult. However, this disease must be investigated in any young person who presents with a gastric mass. The current study presents a rare case of primary ARMS occurring in the stomach; however, more research on this disease is necessary to improve the clinical diagnosis and treatment.
