Posterior Nodular Scleritis in a Leukemic Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in ophthalmology. 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
Introduction: This is an observational case report to detail a challenging case of nodular posterior scleritis (NPS) in a leukemic patient following chemotherapy and allograft. Case Presentation: A 69-year-old leukemic patient presented with unilateral vision loss and pain following febrile neutropenia caused by bacteremia and infectious pneumopathy. Ocular B-mode ultrasound and cerebral magnetic resonance imaging revealed posterior scleritis with a scleral nodule, exudative retinal detachment (ERD), and choroiditis with serous choroidal detachment (SCD). The anterior chamber tap and systemic investigations were normal. Vitrectomy with vitreous biopsy did not provide additional information. A diagnosis of idiopathic nodular posterior scleritis was made. Topical corticosteroids, intravitreal injections of vancomycin and ceftazidime, oral trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and intravenous tazocillin were administered. Over the following weeks, the SCD completely regressed, while the nodule and the ERD partially regressed. Conclusion: NPS is a rare pathology, most commonly idiopathic. A systemic checkup and vitrectomy with subretinal biopsy should be considered in immunosuppressed leukemic patients when the etiology of the nodule remains uncertain.
