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
backgroundChild maltreatment is a significant problem in Germany. Hospital data on child maltreatment serve as a crucial foundation for planning effective prevention measures. These data enable an assessment of the extent to which at-risk children and adolescents are identified, supported, and protected. A systematic evaluation and classification of all hospital data relevant to child maltreatment in Germany is still lacking. Therefore, the aim of this article is to gain an overview of the data in this field and thus bridge the gap.
methodsDescriptive analyses of (partially) inpatient data on child abuse and neglect (secondary diagnosis in ICD-10: T74.0, T74.1, T74.2, T74.3, T74.8, T74.9) + (procedure OPS: 1‑945.0, 1‑945.1) from the 2019-2023 data collection period. The variables age, gender, and main diagnoses relevant to maltreatment are considered in each case. The data were analyzed via the publicly accessible data browser of the Institute for the Hospital Remuneration System (InEK).
resultsThe number of diagnosed cases of child maltreatment of (partially) inpatients is detached from prevalence rates in the population; in consequence, there is a significant underreporting of all forms of maltreatment, with boys and girls being recognized differently for different forms of maltreatment. In addition, the frequent lack of a link between child maltreatment-related diagnoses and procedures performed becomes apparent.
conclusionIn addition to raising awareness, training, and further education of healthcare professionals, there is also a need for investment in political change.
