Trends in good self-rated health in Germany between 1995 and 2014: do age and gender matter?
Article in International journal of public health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
objectivesThis study analyzes longitudinal trends in self-rated health (SRH) by taking age- and gender-specific differences into account.
methodsData of 29,251 women and 26,967 men were obtained from the German Socio-Economic Panel between 1995 and 2014. Generalized Estimation Equation analysis for logistic regression was used to estimate changes in odds of (very) good SRH over time. Development of (un)healthy life expectancy was calculated by applying the Sullivan method.
resultsWhile in women, the odds of good SRH increased significantly over time for the ages 41-50 to 71-80 years, improvements among men were most apparent for the ages 61-70 and 71-80 years. By contrast, for both genders, no improvements in SRH were found in the youngest (31-40 years) and eldest age group (81-90 years) and in men aging 51-60 years. Over time, healthy life expectancy at age 31 increased by 3 years in women and 2 years in men, leading to a reduced but not eliminated gender gap in SRH.
conclusionsOur findings support the hypothesis of relative compression of morbidity. However, trends in SRH differed according to age and gender, calling for health promotion efforts that meet diverse needs at different stages of life.
