An enhanced educational intervention for improving confidence in the eye health benefits of appropriate care for age-related macular degeneration: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Health education research, 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
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss worldwide. Appropriate care is available for patients, reducing the risk of AMD progression. Unfortunately, patients do not always receive appropriate eye care. Our study aimed to develop and evaluate an enhanced educational intervention focused on the health benefits expected from receiving appropriate eye care for AMD. We conducted a randomized, single-blind, controlled trial between May 2022 and October 2023 at an intermediate-tier not-for-profit clinic, the Centre for Eye Health. We recruited 137 patients previously diagnosed with intermediate or advanced (neovascular, geographic atrophy) AMD. Patients were enrolled and randomized (68 enhanced education, 69 standard care). On the intention-to-treat analysis, there was no significant difference between groups with regards to the primary outcome, confidence in the eye health benefits of AMD-related care at 6 months (P = .25). On a priori-defined subgroup analysis, enhanced education resulted in a clinically meaningful and statistically significant differential improvement in confidence in the eye health benefits of AMD-related care for patients who were diagnosed with AMD less than 5 years ago (Pinteraction = .036). Further study is needed to confirm whether enhanced education can improve confidence in eye health care benefits for newly diagnosed AMD patients.
