Laryngeal Sarcomatoid Carcinoma With Rhabdomyoblastic Differentiation: A Potential Pitfall for Misdiagnosis As Rhabdomyosarcoma.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Sarcomatoid carcinoma (SC) of the larynx is an uncommon subtype of squamous cell carcinoma which shows both squamous carcinoma and a sarcomatous component, including heterologous elements. The presence of rhabdomyosarcomatous elements in the larynx is extremely rare. Diagnosis of SC can be particularly challenging when the malignant epithelial component is not evident. We present a case of SC in a 72-year-old man with a superficial exophytic mass in the vocal cord initially misdiagnosed as rhabdomyosarcoma due to a predominant spindle cell component with rhabdomyoblastic features by morphology and immunohistochemistry. This case report aims to increase awareness that a rhabdomyoblastic heterologous component can be present in SC of the larynx and to consider this diagnosis in a mucosal exophytic malignant spindle cell neoplasm, even in the absence of epithelial differentiation.
