Associations Between Social Determinants of Health and Treatment of Exudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis.
Article in Ophthalmic epidemiology, 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 evaluate associations between social determinants of health (SDOH) and treatment rates among patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration (exAMD).
methodsRetrospective cohort study of patients with exAMD utilizing data from the NIH
resultsAmong sociodemographic factors, Black individuals had significantly lower injection rates (IRR: 0.32, 95% CI: 0.13-0.79) compared to White individuals. When correcting for multiple comparisons, among the SDOH constructs, there were none that were significantly associated with treatment rate. Within the exploratory factor analysis, a factor identified by poor English proficiency, transportation difficulty, rural care access issues, worse health literacy, and provider concordance issues was associated with a significantly decreased rate of treatment (IRR: 0.73, 95% CI: 0.55-0.96), as well as a factor identified by high neighborhood disorder, high loneliness, high perceived health care and everyday discrimination, and high stress (IRR: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.60-0.92).
conclusionsThis study identifies significant racial disparities and SDOH constructs associated with exAMD treatment rates. These findings underscore the complexity of sociodemographic influences on treatment and suggest potential inequities which warrant additional study.
