Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor: How Tumor Diagnostic Methods in the Laboratory Have Evolved over the Past 40 Years.
Article in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumor (AT/RT) is a highly aggressive neoplasm of the central nervous system (CNS), most commonly affecting infants and young children. Originally recognized as a distinct entity following cytogenetic identification of monosomy 22 in renal Rhabdoid Tumors, AT/RT now encompasses CNS tumors characterized by SMARCB1 (INI-1) or SMARCA4 (BRG-1) alterations within the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex. The integration of immunohistochemical markers with advanced molecular diagnostics-including next-generation sequencing, DNA methylation profiling, and gene enrichment analyses-has facilitated robust tumor classification and the identification of three molecular subgroups: TYR, SHH, and MYC. Despite its distinctive histopathologic features, AT/RT remains diagnostically challenging in adolescent and adult populations due to age-related bias and potential morphologic heterogeneity. Differential considerations, including epithelioid sarcoma, poorly differentiated chordoma, CRINET, choroid plexus carcinoma, and rare composite tumors, further complicate the diagnostic landscape. A comprehensive, multimodal diagnostic approach combining histologic, immunophenotypic, and molecular data is essential to accurately identify AT/RT and guide clinical management, particularly in diagnostically ambiguous or atypical cases.
