Case of primary digital embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in a cat.

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
An 11-year-old Turkish angora cat was presented with a mass in the right forelimb phalangeal region. Two years earlier, the cat had undergone surgical resection of a dorsal interscapular mass. Before initiating anticancer therapy, surgical incisional biopsy of a phalangeal region mass was done, followed by histopathologic and immunohistochemical analyses. The tumor cells demonstrated positive immunohistochemical labelling for desmin, vimentin, and myoblast determination protein 1, supporting a diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). Histologic features were consistent with an embryonal subtype of RMS. Accordingly, a right forelimb amputation was completed. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a digital RMS in a cat. Because RMS is a rare tumor in cats, it is essential to study the clinical presentation, hematologic and serologic changes, treatment responses, and prognosis. Suitably, this case report provides valuable insight into the management of similar cases in cats. Key clinical message: This first reported case of digital RMS in a cat highlights the importance of studying the clinical presentation and treatment of RMS in feline patients.
