The J1 adolescent health check-up: analysis of data from the German KiGGS survey.
Article in Deutsches Arzteblatt international, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
backgroundWe analyzed data from the Robert Koch Institute's KiGGS survey regarding the J1 adolescent health check-up in order to determine what information this check-up provides.
methodsDescriptive statistical analysis of J1 participation with respect to social, demographic, medical and psychological factors, with logistic regression analysis of the risk associated with non-participation.
results32.9% of all adolescents in Germany aged 14 to 17 had a J1 check-up. Thus, the J1 participation rate has remained low since the introduction of the J1 in Germany. The main conditions that were more commonly found in adolescents who had a J1 check-up were thyroid disorders (4.1% vs. 2.9%), and scoliosis (14.8% vs. 10.5%). Adolescents were only half as likely to have a J1 check-up if they were under the care of a general practitioner, rather than a pediatrician (odds ratio [OR] 0.46, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.36-0.60). Foreign adolescents were only half as likely to have a J1 check-up as German ones (OR 0.51, 95% CI 0.31-0.84).
conclusionThere is compelling evidence that scoliosis and thyroid disorders, in particular, are underdiagnosed if a J1 check-up is not performed. Thus, elevating the J1 participation rate should be a priority. If a J1-check up were performed in the nearly two-thirds of all adolescents who currently do not undergo one, many latent health problems could be recognized and treated in timely fashion.
