Evaluation of a validated questionnaire to assess the need for prevention or rehabilitation by preventive health examinations: a cross-sectional study of German employees aged 45 to 59 years (Ü45-check).

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
Objective: A longer life expectancy can lead to a longer working life and is therefore important for the individual and the healthcare system. Therefore, a study group established a Risk-Index Disability-Pension (RI-DP), which assesses the risk of work disability. However, a standardized and well-founded preventive health examination does not yet exist in Germany. Hence, we developed a preventive health examination conducted by physicians and compared it with a questionnaire survey to examine its differences and results in relation to the need for prevention and rehabilitation, taking into consideration the RI-DP. Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study, Results: The mean age was 52.93 (sd = 4.17) years, and Conclusion: The results emphasize the need for combining questionnaire surveys with preventive health examinations to assess health needs comprehensively. Notably, the preventive health examination suggests higher prevention needs compared to the questionnaire, indicating that the questionnaire may not fully capture clinical prevention needs.
