Consensus on age-related macular degeneration course curricula for general ophthalmologists and non-ophthalmologist clinical staff: A Delphi study.
Article in Acta ophthalmologica, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeTo define the curriculum content for two interactive learning courses on age-related macular degeneration (AMD): (1) an advanced course tailored for general ophthalmologists and (2) a basic course for non-ophthalmologist healthcare staff. This initiative aims to establish a national consensus on the educational framework for AMD management among general ophthalmologists in Denmark.
methodsWe conducted a three-round Delphi study. The Delphi panel consisted of 33 ophthalmologists (28 retinal specialists from Denmark and five internationally recognized retinal specialists), eight non-ophthalmologist healthcare staff (six optometrists, one ophthalmic nurse and one clinic assistant) with experience in managing patients with AMD. To ensure national representation, we recruited panel participants from all five Danish regions.
resultsResponse rates were 85%, 73% and 71% for Delphi rounds 1, 2 and 3, respectively. In the first round, participants suggested a total of 390 potential curriculum components and learning goals: 211 components for the advanced course and 179 for the basic course. After the third round, the panel reached consensus on an AMD curriculum, which included 46 topics for the advanced course (e.g., OCT interpretation: signs of disease activity versus atrophic changes) and 15 topics for the basic course (e.g., visual requirements for driving).
conclusionThis study reached consensus on the curricula for courses on AMD for general ophthalmologists and non-ophthalmologist healthcare staff. This forms the basis for developing instructional, virtual, interactive courses that can support the development and maintenance of competencies related to AMD, both in Denmark and abroad.
