Long-term effects of a multimodal behavioral intervention on myocardial perfusion--a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in International journal of behavioral medicine, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
backgroundRecent advances in drug therapy question as to the additional impact behavioral interventions may have on the prognosis of patients with clinically stable coronary heart disease (CHD). PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of a multimodal, behavioral intervention on myocardial perfusion (MP) and cardiac events, compared to standardized cardiologic care, in patients with stable CHD.
methodsSeventy-seven CHD patients (age 54.2 +/- 6.9 years, male 87%) were randomly assigned to a behavioral intervention plus standardized cardiologic care (INT, n = 39) or standardized cardiologic care alone (CO, n = 38). MP was assessed by (201)Thallium MP-scintigrams (SPECT) at baseline, after 2, 3, and 7 years, respectively. Subsequent cardiac events (MI, PCI, CABG) were assessed using the cardiologists' charts.
resultsSixty-five patients (84%) completed the study. In all patients, the course of MP was significantly better in INT analysis of variance (ANOVA group x time p = 0.001); this was also true for patients without subsequent PCI/CABG (ANOVA group x time p = 0.002). Incidence of cardiac events was significantly associated with INT (6 vs. 14; log rank test p = .047).
conclusionThe study suggests additional long-term benefits of a behavioral intervention on myocardial perfusion and cardiac events in patients with stable CHD compared to standardized cardiologic care only.
