A rare adult case of primary uterine rhabdomyosarcoma with mixed pattern: a clinicopathological & immunohistochemical study with literature review.
Review in Diagnostic pathology, 2024. 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
backgroundRhabdomyosarcomas are aggressive tumors that comprise a group of morphologically similar but biologically diverse lesions. Owing to its rarity, Mixed pattern RMS (ARMS and ERMS) constitutes a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. CASE: Herein is presented a very rare case of mixed alveolar & embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in the uterus of a 68-year-old woman. The wall of the uterine corpus & cervix was replaced by multiple whitish-yellow, firm nodules, measuring up to 12 cm. Microscopically, the tumor was predominantly composed of round to polygonal cells arranged in nests with alveolar pattern intermingled with hypo- & hypercellular areas of more primitive cells with scattered multinucleated giant cells seen as well. Extensive sampling failed to show epithelial elements. Immunohistochemical staining showed positive staining for vimentin, desmin, myogenin, CD56 & WT-1. However, no staining was detected for CK, LCA, CD10, ER, SMA, CD99, S100, Cyclin-D1 & Olig-2. Metastatic deposits were found in the peritoneum. The patient received postoperative chemotherapy and radiotherapy but died of systemic metastases 3 months after surgery.
conclusionThe rarity of this histological tumor entity and its aggressive behavior and poor prognosis grab attention to improving recognition and treatment modalities in adults.
