[Shaded places for skin cancer prevention in kindergartens and schools].
Article in Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundExcessive UV radiation from the sun may lead to skin cancer, the most common type of cancer in Germany. Therefore, among other things, the World Health Organization recommends seeking shade during the midday hours from a UV index of 3 (3 to 5 = "moderate"). However, this important preventive measure can only be taken if sufficient shaded areas are available. The aim of the study is to record shaded areas in kindergartens and schools nationwide.
methodsAn epidemiological cross-sectional study with two samples was carried out. Management of kindergartens and schools were surveyed using online questionnaires about the provision of shading measures at their educational institution from May to August 2020 and from April to July 2021, respectively. The primary outcome was to record the presence of various structural shading measures in the outdoor area of their educational institutions. The secondary outcome was to estimate the size of the shaded exterior area.
resultsFrom the nationwide population, 1042 kindergartens (1.9%) and 713 schools (2.3%) participated. Compared to schools, kindergartens had sun protection measures in the outdoor area significantly more often (99% vs. 82%; p < 0.001) and were able to shade a significantly larger outdoor area (43% vs. 26%; p < 0.001). Assuming a minimum required shaded outdoor area of 1 m
conclusionAlmost every fifth school in Germany had no shaded places in the outdoor area. Against the background of climatic changes, an urgent high need for improvements seems obvious.
