Orbital Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma: A Diagnostic Masquerade.
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 lymphomas, though uncommon, are significant masquerade syndromes that can resemble inflammatory or infectious orbital conditions like orbital cellulitis. Case Presentation: We describe the case of an 80-year-old woman who experienced sudden painful vision loss, proptosis, and limited eye movement, initially treated as orbital cellulitis with compressive optic neuropathy. The absence of clinical improvement led to further imaging and a biopsy, which identified diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Conclusion: This case emphasizes the necessity for high clinical suspicion, particularly in older patients, and highlights the diagnostic challenges posed by steroid use and overlapping symptoms with infectious causes. We discuss the significance of a multidisciplinary approach and suggest a clinical checklist for recognizing masquerade syndromes in ophthalmology.
