Navigating the Cervico-Axillary Canal: A Rare Encounter With Double Dumbbell Space Sarcoma Involving the Neck and Axilla.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Space sarcomas are exceedingly rare neoplasms, and double dumbbell space sarcoma in the cervicoaxillary canal has not been previously reported. We present a case of a 63-year-old male who presented with a swelling in the neck and axilla of four years' duration, which rapidly increased in size over the last three months. Clinical examination and imaging revealed a multiseptate mass extending from the posterior triangle of the neck to the right axilla and chest wall through the cervicoaxillary canal. This lesion encased major vessels and components of the brachial plexus but did not infiltrate them. A trucut biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of well-differentiated liposarcoma. Surgical intervention was performed, achieving complete resection with preservation of neurovascular structures. This case highlights the unique challenges and complexities associated with managing double dumbbell space sarcomas in the cervicoaxillary canal. Additionally, it underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to achieving successful outcomes while preserving limb function and minimizing complications. Long-term follow-up is essential for monitoring potential recurrences.
