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

backgroundMalignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) is a highly aggressive pediatric neoplasm defined by SMARCB1/INI1 loss, and primary orbital involvement is rare. CASE PRESENTATION: A 20-month-old girl presented with rapidly progressive left proptosis. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a 2.1 × 1.3 × 1.6 cm temporal retrobulbar mass with focal bone erosion. The primary tumor was treated with piecemeal excision, followed by adjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Pathology showed large epithelioid tumor cells with rhabdoid morphology. Immunohistochemistry revealed diffuse expression of vimentin, CK, and CD34, but INI1 loss and SALL4 negativity. Fluorescence in situ hybridization confirmed a heterozygous SMARCB1 deletion. However, rapid local progression with extension into the temporal lobe occurred 3 months after completion of the treatment. Salvage therapy led to marked radiographic regression, but was discontinued due to severe cytopenias. The patient died of intracranial progression 34 months after the initial surgery.

conclusionsOrbital MRT can exhibit an atypical CD34-positive and SALL4-negative immunophenotype. The tumor demonstrates highly aggressive behavior, and adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy may provide only temporary control.
