Reactive Orbital Myositis as a First Manifestation of Renal Cell Carcinoma.
Article in Case reports in ophthalmology. 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
Introduction: Orbital myositis (OM) is an inflammatory condition of the extraocular muscles, often idiopathic but occasionally associated with systemic diseases or malignancies. Secondary OM due to metastatic disease is rare. We report a case of OM as the initial manifestation of metastatic renal cell carcinoma, emphasizing the need for comprehensive evaluation of atypical ocular presentations. Case Presentation: An 81-year-old male with a history of age-related macular degeneration presented with acute onset of pain and restricted movement in his left eye. Computed tomography imaging revealed an osteolytic lesion in the left sphenoid bone, causing reactive myositis. Further systemic evaluation identified a left renal mass with evidence of pulmonary and skeletal metastases. A core needle biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Given the advanced disease stage, the patient was managed with palliative treatment. Despite medical interventions, he succumbed to the disease 6 months after symptom onset. Conclusion: This case underscores the significance of considering malignancy in the differential diagnosis of OM, particularly in elderly patients with atypical ocular symptoms. Early recognition and systemic evaluation are crucial for timely diagnosis and management of underlying malignancies presenting with orbital involvement.
