1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 a rare soft tissue tumor with the most common sites of origin in the genitourinary tract, head, and neck regions, and extremities are less commonly involved. Spindle cell RMS is a rare variant of RMS in infants. RMS is uncommon in the hand. We present a case of spindle cell RMS in the hand of a full-term female newborn with regional lymph node involvement. Based on histopathology, the diagnosis of spindle cell RMS was made in stage IRS 3 of the Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study Group (IRSG) staging system. The infant underwent complete surgical resection and axillary lymph node removal, followed by chemotherapy. She died from complications of chemotherapy a year after initiation of treatment. The age, gender, poor outcome, and site are unusual features for this type of RMS.
