Primary Gastric Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma: A Potent Mimicker of Neuroendocrine Carcinoma.

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 a malignant tumor with skeletal muscle differentiation that usually occurs in soft tissues of the extremities or trunk. To date, only a few cases of primary gastric ARMS have been reported. Herein, we describe a case of ARMS in a man in his 80s and present a literature review. A submucosal tumor-like lesion was detected endoscopically. Histologically, the tumor cells exhibited a poorly differentiated morphology with hyperchromatic nuclei. Neuroendocrine markers, such as synaptophysin and CD56, were positive, and neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) was considered a differential diagnosis. However, both myogenic markers and OLIG2, which reflect FAX3 or FAX7 fusion, were positive, leading to a diagnosis of ARMS. Primary gastric ARMS is an extremely rare condition. Better awareness of this entity and its similarity to NEC is necessary for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
