Multiple evanescent white dot syndrome associated with focal scleral nodule: a case report and literature review.
Review in BMC ophthalmology, 2025. 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
backgroundMultiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) is a rare transient inflammatory retinopathy characterized by discrete white dots disseminated on the fundus. Focal scleral nodule (FSN) typically presents as a stable, solitary, yellow-white, subretinal lesion arising from the sclera. This article reports a rare case of MEWDS associated with FSN in a young female. CASE PRESENTATION: A 34-year-old female presented with a complaint of gradually enlarging paracentral scotomas in the left eye for 8 days. At presentation, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/25 in the left eye. Fundus examination of the left eye revealed optic disc edema and an orange-yellow irregular lesion on the infratemporal side of the fovea. The multimodal imaging (MMI) findings revealed a rather typical MEWDS-like reaction and a subretinal lesion located at the sclera. After thorough consideration, the patient was diagnosed with MEWDS associated with FSN. Corticosteroid therapy was then administered to the patient. After 11 weeks, her BCVA recovered to 20/20 in the left eye, and the visual field defect had improved. Additionally, the MEWDS-like reaction had significantly recovered. The FSN remained stable during the 18-month follow-up.
conclusionsThis is the first reported case of MEWDS associated with FSN, expanding the understanding of both conditions.
