Orbital Fat Involvement by Metastatic Multiple Myeloma Mimicking Involutional Lower Eyelid Fat Herniation: A Case Report.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 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
Purpose: To report an unusual presentation of orbital extramedullary plasmacytoma in a patient with multiple myeloma, clinically mimicking involutional lower eyelid fat herniation. Observations: A 57-year-old man with a history of multiple myeloma in remission presented with a three-month history of progressive fullness of the right lower eyelid. Clinical examination suggested minimal right-sided hyperglobus and asymmetric lower eyelid fat herniation without signs of inflammation. Orbital computerized tomography revealed a hyperdense anterior inferior orbital mass distinct from surrounding fat. Excisional biopsy demonstrated a plasmacytoma confirmed by immunohistochemistry showing CD138 and kappa light chain positivity. The lesion represented metastatic involvement of multiple myeloma. Conclusions and importance: Orbital metastases of multiple myeloma are rare. This case highlights anterior orbital involvement presenting as apparent involutional lower eyelid fat herniation, a potential diagnostic pitfall. Awareness of this presentation is important when evaluating new eyelid or orbital findings in patients with a history of systemic malignancy.
