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

A man in his early 40s, with no previous medical history, presented to the emergency room with right leg swelling. It had started more than one month prior to the presentation, but the patient had not sought medical attention due to lack of insurance. He underwent an ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) scan, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The studies revealed a mass in the right vastus medialis muscle. A biopsy revealed a high-grade rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) with sclerosing features. The patient started treatment with vincristine, actinomycin D, and ifosfamide (VAI). He continued chemotherapy as an outpatient, but was lost to follow-up. He returned four months later with metastatic disease.
