Alveolar type of rhabdomyosarcoma of maxilla-A case report.
Article in Journal of oral and maxillofacial pathology : JOMFP. 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
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common sarcoma among children and accounts for 20% of soft tissue sarcomas. In children, close to 50% of rhabdomyosarcomas arise in the head and neck. RMS of the oral cavity is rare and is seen in only 10-12% of all head and neck lesions and the involvement of the jaws is extremely rare. Histopathologically, the various types are pleomorphic type, botryoid type, spindle cell type, embryonal, and alveolar type of RMS. The alveolar variant accounts for almost 30% of all rhabdomyosarcomas and tends to arise in patients of the age group 10-25 years. We present a case of orofacial RMS in a young adult who was referred to our Institution for the management of an odontogenic lesion of the maxilla. The clinicopathological aspects and poor survival rate as a consequence of delayed diagnosis are discussed. We dentists may misdiagnose it as an odontogenic tumour due to its location in the oral and maxillofacial region. Careful clinical history and examination and investigations may help to narrow down the diagnosis. Expert opinion and referrals to oral pathologists and oncologists are essential to arrive at early diagnosis and to initiate the treatment.
