Isolated Pancreatic Metastasis in a Patient With Orbital Rhabdomyosarcoma: A Report of a Rare Case.
Article in Cureus, 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
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children and adolescents and its occurrence in adults is extremely rare. There are three major subtypes of RMS of which alveolar RMS (ARMS) has the worst prognosis and tends to metastasize to unusual locations such as the pancreas. We present a case of a 19-year-old male with a rapidly enlarging right orbital mass, the imaging of which revealed it to be an infiltrative lesion with extension into the nasal cavity, ethmoid sinuses, and intracranial involvement. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of ARMS. A staging CT scan showed an enlarged and hypoenhancing pancreas; the histopathology test confirmed ARMS metastasis. It is important to consider pancreatic involvement in patients with ARMS, as it may be misinterpreted with other pathologies such as pancreatitis and pancreatic lymphoma. Metastasis to the pancreas can significantly alter the clinical approach and staging, underscoring the need for accurate diagnosis and staging in these patients.
