The general health status of employees in Germany aged 45 to 59 years (Ü45-Check) - a cross-sectional study.
Observational study in BMC public health, 2025. 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
objectiveThis study was performed to evaluate the general health status of employees aged 45-59 years using data from the Ü45-Check study (2021-2024). In addition, the health status of individual occupational groups was assessed to investigate potential associations within these groups.
methodsClinical and occupational data were collected from 1,040 employees aged 45-59 years from Berlin and Brandenburg, Germany, who participated in the Ü45-Check study. The data were derived from a preventive health examination conducted to identify potential preventive or rehabilitation needs. The clinical examination included anthropometric measurements, bioelectrical impedance analysis, handgrip strength, 12-lead resting electrocardiogram, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, anamnesis, and blood analyses. To categorize health status by occupation, the International Standard Classification of Occupations 2008 (ISCO-08) was applied.
resultsData from 1,040 participants (n = 631 male, 61%) revealed occupational and sex-related disparities. The mean body mass index (BMI) of the total sample was 26.89 kg/m
conclusionThese results highlight occupational and sex-based disparities in anthropometric and clinical measures, pointing to significant health concerns such as obesity and increased cardiovascular risk. The findings underscore the importance of occupational health initiatives tailored to specific job demands and sex differences. CLINICAL
