Wide-field fluorescein angiography findings in active anterior scleritis.
Article in Journal of ophthalmic inflammation and infection, 2024. 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
objectiveDescribe the proportion of patients with wide-field fluorescein angiographic (WFFA) findings in patients with active anterior scleritis.
methodsAn observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study of the WFFA findings of patients with active anterior scleritis including nodular, diffuse, or necrotizing involvement was performed. Studies were performed with the Heidelberg Spectralis module (102º). Images were saved and assessed by two masked co-authors.
resultsSeventy-nine eyes from 39 patients, 31 (79%) females with a mean age of 50.5 years ± 13.98. Mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 0.1343 ± 0.2475 logMar or 20/27. WFFA findings were observed in 39.58% of eyes with active scleritis and in 16.66% of eyes without scleritis. Systemic association was present at 50%, with ANCA-associated vasculitis being the most prevalent. WFFA findings were more frequent in cases of anterior diffuse scleritis and correlated with scleritis severity when central and peripheral leakage (p < 0.022) and cystoid macular edema (p < 0.013) were present.
conclusionsAlmost 40% of eyes with anterior scleritis have WFFA findings of vascular leakage and 16% of eyes without scleritis. Retinal vascular leakage needs to be explored as a sign of local and/or systemic activity in patients with anterior scleritis and may have implications for disease severity and management.
