Paraneoplastic maculopathy mimicking diabetic macular edema.
Article in GMS ophthalmology cases, 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
Objective: To highlight paraproteinemic maculopathy as a potential initial manifestation of multiple myeloma and to emphasize its ability to mimic diabetic macular edema in patients with diabetes. Methods: Two diabetic patients presenting with macular edema unresponsive to intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy were evaluated. Detailed ophthalmic examination and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) were performed, followed by systemic investigations. Results: Subsequent systemic evaluation led to the diagnosis of multiple myeloma in both patients and with systemic therapy, a marked regression of findings was observed in all eyes. Conclusions: Paraproteinemic maculopathy may present as an initial ocular manifestation of multiple myeloma and can closely mimic diabetic macular edema. It should be considered in diabetic patients with atypical macular findings, particularly therapy nonresponsive serous macular detachment.
