A Rare Case of Conjunctival and Scleral Necrosis Following Anterior Sub-Tenon Triamcinolone Acetonide Injection in a Pediatric Patient.
Article in Clinical case reports, 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
The sub-Tenon route for injecting triamcinolone acetonide is one of the widely practiced surgical techniques for postoperative inflammation control, but complicated conjunctival and scleral necrosis are rare occurrences. A 3-year-old boy underwent bilateral cataract surgery and an anterior sub-tendon injection of triamcinolone (AST) (20 mg). One week later, he presented with conjunctival necrosis at the injection site and thinning of the sclera in both eyes. Necroses being unresponsive to conservative management led to surgical debridement and removal of residual steroid deposits. The conjunctiva healed well without grafting, and the patient remained stable at the 6-month follow-up from the ocular point of view. This rare but serious complication of periocular steroid injection in a child demands cautious administration of steroids, prompt diagnosis of necrosis, and timely intervention to limit serious ocular morbidity.
