Same-side recurrence of unilateral multiple evanescent white dot syndrome following the thermal laser photocoagulation for inflammatory macular neovascularization.

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: We report the same side recurrence of multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) subsequent to 532 nm laser treatment for the macular neovascularization (MNV) associated with the first MEWDS episode. Method: Retrospective case documentation with the multimodal imaging. Result: A 24-year-old otherwise healthy woman who was diagnosed as having left MEWDS four years ago was re-examined for a visual disturbance of the duration of one month in the same eye. Fundus evaluation led us to the diagnosis of left extrafoveal inflammatory MNV. Surprisingly, she developed further visual deterioration a month following the uneventful 532 nm laser photocoagulation in her left eye. Fundus examination and multimodal imaging tests confirmed the recurrent MEWDS after full negative laboratory work-up. Visual acuity and fundus changes were improved with the help of a short course oral steroid therapy. Conclusion: MEWDS can very rarely recur and thermal laser photocoagulation may be a possible triggering factor.
