Prevalence and risk factors of undiagnosed age-related macular degeneration: the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2017-2020.

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
This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors for undiagnosed age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in the Korean population. This cross-sectional study utilized data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES 2017-2020), which included a total of 13,737 subjects of 40 years or older. Cases in which AMD was identified through imaging interpretation of the KNHANES data, but the patients had not received a prior medical diagnosis of AMD, were classified as undiagnosed AMD. The prevalence and risk factors for undiagnosed AMD were analyzed. Among the patients identified to having AMD through KNHANES, the prevalence of undiagnosed AMD was 95.25% (95% confidence interval [CI], 94.13-96.37). Multivariate analysis revealed that a low level of education was significantly associated with a higher risk of undiagnosed AMD (p = 0.0066). A low level of education was also linked to a higher risk of undiagnosed early AMD (p = 0.0369) and neovascular AMD (p = 0.0399). Aging was strongly associated with an increased risk of undiagnosed geographic atrophy (p < 0.0001). Physical activity was associated with a lower risk of undiagnosed neovascular AMD (p = 0.0107). The high prevalence of undiagnosed AMD in the Korean population highlights the need for regular fundus examinations to facilitate accurate detection of AMD. Low education level emerged as a significant risk factor for undiagnosed AMD, emphasizing the importance of targeted interventions for this population to reduce the risk of visual impairment due to AMD.
