asuming your data is in long format, your id variable is called id,
your visit variable is called visit, and you are looking for missing
values in the variable called var:

list id visit if missing(var)

assuming your data is in wide format and you are looking for for
missing values in variables var0, var2, ..., var52 (the values for var
at visit 1/52):
list id var* if missing(var0, var2, var4, var8, var12, var16, var20,
var24, var36, var52)

Hope this helps,
Maarten
