1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundUltraviolet (UV) radiation of sunbeds has been classified carcinogenic by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Unlike in other countries the available data on the important risk factor has been lacking until recently in Germany.

objectivesThe SUN-Study 2012 (Sunbed-Use: Needs for Action Study) aimed at identifying epidemiological prevalence data concerning this completely preventable risk factor. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 4,851 participants aged 14-45 years were selected from the German population in a representative manner and were surveyed via standardized telephone interviews. The survey period was split into a summer and a winter wave in order to take possible season effects into account.

resultsFour out of 10 Germans aged 14-45 years (39.2 %; 95 % CI 37.8-40.6 %) have ever used a sunbed. Within the last year 14.6 % (95 % CI 13.6-15.6 %) visited a sunbed. Current users reported six visits per year on average and every twentieth reported a family history of cutaneous malignant melanoma in first-degree relatives. More than 5 % of minors currently used sunbeds despite the nationwide ban, mostly at unsupervised locations. Half of those minors did not know about the legal ban of sunbed use for minors.

conclusionsOur study proves that sunbed use which is an important risk factor for skin cancer is widely used. Moreover, considerable information deficits about health risks exist among the German population.
