The Use of Multimodal Imaging in Detecting Focal Scleral Nodule.
Article in Annals of African medicine, 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
abstractFocal scleral nodule was first described in 1997 by Hong et al . as a unifocal helioid choroiditis. However, based on multimodal imaging utilization, the disease was renamed as a focal scleral nodule by Fung et al . in 2020. Focal scleral nodule is a rare, benign, asymptomatic mass commonly found deep to the retina during a routine retinal examination; it originates from the sclera and usually measures one disc diameter and presents near the optic nerve in Caucasian female patients. Even though it originates from the sclera, over 95% of focal scleral nodule patients show overlying choroidal thinning. In this article, we present a case of a 49-year-old Saudi male patient who was found to have a posterior pole lesion; the patient underwent multimodal imaging to help localize and diagnose the condition as a focal scleral nodule. In this article, we present the utilization of multimodal imaging modalities, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT angiography, and indocyanine green angiography, in the diagnosis of focal scleral nodules.
