Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma of the Bile Ducts Causing Obstructive Jaundice in a Child: A Case Report.
Article in Acta medica Philippina, 2024. 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
Jaundice in older children can occur when any obstruction is found within the bile ducts, either from bile stones, parasites, choledochal cysts and rarely, secondary to tumors. We present a previously well, 10-year-old Filipino boy with three-week history of progressive jaundice and tea-colored urine, and was initially assessed to have biliary ascariasis. Ultrasound showed a heterogeneous focus spanning the gallbladder neck and confirmed on endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography as an exophytic mass at the ampulla of Vater. Tumor biopsy and immunohistochemical staining confirmed the diagnosis of Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma of the Bile Ducts. Chemotherapy was initiated to reduce the size of the tumor before any surgical intervention could be attempted. Despite chemotherapy, the tumor progressively grew. He acquired a respiratory infection which led to sepsis and his eventual demise. The disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a child with obstructive jaundice after exclusion of other more common causes.
