[Policies to promote physical activity in Germany : An analysis based on a policy audit tool from the World Health Organization].
Review in Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPhysical inactivity is a key determinant of noncommunicable diseases. Therefore, the World Health Organization (WHO) as well as researchers worldwide have developed different tools to monitor and audit policies to promote physical activity. However, these tools have so far not been used to systematically collect and analyse data on physical activity promoting policies in Germany.
aimThis study aims to provide a systematic overview of policies to promote physical activity in Germany.
methodsThe study was conducted as part of the Policy Evaluation Network ( www.jpi-pen.eu ). Data from the European Union Physical Activity Monitoring Framework, desk research, and an expert survey were utilised and collected with the WHO's health-enhancing physical activity (HEPA) policy audit tool (PAT).
resultsThe results highlight the wide range of relevant stakeholders and provide an overview of current policies as well as surveillance, evaluation, and funding. Significant accomplishments and persistent challenges are identified. DISCUSSION: An international comparison shows that, in contrast to Germany, other countries have formulated measurable goals for physical activity promotion on a national level. However, Germany is among a minority of countries with specific physical activity recommendations for adults with noncommunicable diseases. Further structural development of physical activity promotion in Germany is necessary.
