The general health of children and adolescents in Germany. Results of the cross-sectional KiGGS Wave 2 study and trends.
Article in Journal of health monitoring, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Data from KiGGS Wave 2 show that 95.7% of parents who participated in the survey rated the overall health of their 3 to 17 year-old children as very good or good. This proportion is higher than the figures identified by the KiGGS baseline study across all age groups. The proportion of children rated as in very good health is highest among 3 to 6 year-olds and decreases with age. Among 14 to 17 year-olds, the proportion of girls in very good health is well below the level found among boys. A pronounced social gradient is still clear from the data: the proportion of parents who assess the overall health of their children as very good or good rises with increasing social status. This highlights the need for strategies to reduce health inequalities that involve society as a whole, and the need for target group-specific measures in prevention and health promotion.
