Surgical excision of giant axillary cystic lymphangioma: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2026. 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
backgroundCystic lymphangiomas are rare benign congenital malformations of the lymphatic system, usually diagnosed in childhood and rarely encountered in adults. Axillary involvement in adults is particularly uncommon and presents diagnostic and surgical challenges owing to proximity to neurovascular structures. CASE PRESENTATION: This report describes a case of a 22-year-old Yemeni female patient presenting with localized pain in the left breast and a progressively enlarging tender axillary swelling. Imaging revealed a unilocular, thin-walled cystic lesion measuring 13 × 8 cm, extending into the subpectoral space and closely abutting the axillary vessels without invasion. Complete excision was performed via a curvilinear axillary incision, requiring meticulous adhesiolysis to preserve neurovascular integrity. Histopathology confirmed cystic lymphangioma. The postoperative course was uneventful, and no recurrence was noted at 5 month follow-up.
conclusionAlthough predominantly a pediatric entity, cystic lymphangioma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of adult axillary masses. Preoperative imaging is crucial for surgical planning, and complete surgical excision offers excellent outcomes with minimal functional impairment.
