[Compression or expansion of morbidity? Development of health among the older population].

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
backgroundWithin the context of demographic change, the development of morbidity among the older population has increasingly gained importance. In this respect, three different scenarios of the development of morbidity are discussed: the compression of morbidity, the dynamic equilibrium, and the expansion of morbidity.
objectivesThis paper investigates in which way subjective and functional health have developed among the older population between 1997 and 2010. MATERIALS AND
methodsUsing German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) data, the developments of subjective and functional health are examined in cross-sectional comparisons. The age groups between 65 and 89 are considered. Analyses are stratified according to gender and age.
resultsIn comparing different cohorts, men and women from younger cohorts report better subjective and functional health compared to people born before them. Concerning subjective health, this trend mostly affects younger people (65-74 years). Elderly subjects (aged 75-89 years) in the cohort comparison between 1997 and 2010 report no improvements in subjective health. In contrast, functional health between the cohorts affected all age groups in a similar manner.
conclusionResults for subjective and functional health are consistent with the compression of morbidity and the dynamic equilibrium and they do not point towards an expansion of morbidity.
