Depression in patients with heart disease: the case for more trials.
Review in Future cardiology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Depression is common among patients with heart disease. It is an important comorbidity, both because of its well-known effect on the quality of life and also because it has a significant impact on the ability of patients with heart disease to engage in healthy behaviors and to avoid unhealthy ones. In addition, depression is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in those with established cardiovascular disease. However, no study has demonstrated that treatment of depression improves cardiac outcomes in patients with heart disease. Some have argued that additional trials are not necessary, and that the importance of depression argues for increased recognition and treatment even if it cannot be demonstrated that this improves morbidity and mortality. This article makes the case for more trials in this area, highlighting the importance of using the results of prior trials to generate hypotheses and provide directions for future studies in this area and noting the effect that demonstrating improved survival might have on clinical practice.
