Changes in anxiety and depression over 2 years in medically stable patients after myocardial infarction and their spouses in the Home Automatic External Defibrillator Trial (HAT): a longitudinal observational study.
Article in Heart (British Cardiac Society), 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveTo compare the long-term effects of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training and CPR/automatic external defibrillator (AED) training on anxiety and depression of patients who were medically stable after myocardial infarction (MI) and of their spouses/companions.
designLongitudinal.
participantsPost-MI patients (N=460) and their spouses/companions from the Home Automatic External Defibrillator Trial.
main outcome measuresDepression (Beck Depression Inventory-II scores) and anxiety (State Trait Anxiety Inventory scores).
resultsAt study entry, 25% of the patients and 15% of their spouses were depressed and 21% of the patients and 19% of the spouses were anxious. The prevalence of depression and anxiety did not change over time in the patients or their spouses. Average depression and anxiety decreased for patients but not for spouses. An intervention group did not contribute significantly to these changes. Psychological distress, indicated by depression or anxiety of the spouse or the patient, occurred in 191 couples. Among psychologically distressed patients (N=128), depression and anxiety decreased over time; the intervention group did not contribute to these changes. The reduction in anxiety among male patients was greater than in female patients (p=0.012, 95% CI 0.002 to 0.018). Among psychologically distressed spouses (N=118), depression decreased over time independently of the intervention. Changes in spouse anxiety depended on the intervention group (p=0.012, 95% CI 0.001 to 0.012); anxiety decreased significantly in the CPR and remained high in the CPR/AED group.
conclusionThere was no evidence that home AEDs caused psychological distress among patients. Even among those who were psychologically distressed when they were assigned to receive either CPR training or CPR/AEDs, home AEDs did not influence changes in patients' depression or anxiety or spouses' depression in comparison with CPR training. Among psychologically distressed spouses, AEDs may keep anxiety higher than it would be otherwise. Interventions to reduce anxiety of spouses who are psychologically distressed may be indicated when their partners receive an AED.
