Fulminant Course of Isolated Orbital Metastasis From Gastric Cancer: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Orbital metastases are uncommon, with breast cancer being the most frequent primary tumor. In contrast, metastasis from gastric cancer to the orbit is exceedingly rare and often indicates advanced disease with a poor prognosis. We report the case of a 43-year-old woman previously treated for localized signet-ring cell gastric adenocarcinoma with chemotherapy followed by total gastrectomy. One month after surgery, she developed acute right-sided proptosis, diplopia, and retro-orbital pain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a right orbital mass encasing the globe, optic nerve, and extraocular muscles, consistent with a solitary orbital metastasis. Her clinical condition deteriorated rapidly, and she died within days of diagnosis. Histological confirmation could not be obtained due to her rapid decline. Although rare, orbital metastasis may be the first and only manifestation of gastric cancer recurrence. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion in any cancer patient presenting with new-onset ocular symptoms, as early diagnosis is critical for symptom management and prognostic assessment.
