A Rare Case Report of Periorbital Pseudolymphoma.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Pseudolymphoma (PSL) of the orbit is a benign lymphoid hyperplasia (LH). It is a rare disease with an extensive range of known causative agents. LH is further classified into "reactive" (RLH) and "atypical" (ALH) types. It clinically presents as a single or a few plaques and/or nodular lesions, particularly on the head, neck, and upper trunk. It must be differentiated from orbital malignant lymphoma. In this report, we present a case of a 58-year-old Pakistani female with an asymptomatic recurrent right periorbital swelling for three years. It was clinically diagnosed as an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor-induced angioedema as it responded to stopping the ACE inhibitor; however, after four months, the patient again started to develop right periorbital swelling. An incisional biopsy revealed perivascular and periadnexal infiltration of lymphocytes, plasma cells, and a few neutrophils along with pigmentary incontinence. The formation of multiple lymphoid follicles and infiltration by monomorphic lymphoid cells in deeper skeletal muscle fibers were also observed. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) showed polyclonality and low Ki-67 labeling (20%), corresponding to periorbital RLH. Our objective in this study is to highlight the importance of considering PSL as a differential diagnosis in periorbital swelling. We also suggest that recurrent angioedema may lead to PSL.
