Onset and risk factors for anxiety and depression during the first 2 years after lung transplantation.

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
objectiveAnxiety disorders are prominent in chronic lung disease; lung transplant recipients may therefore also be at high risk for these disorders. We sought to provide the first prospective data on rates and risk factors for anxiety disorders as well as depressive disorders during the first 2 years after transplantation.
methodA total of 178 lung recipients and a comparison group (126 heart recipients) received psychosocial and Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition assessments at 2, 7, 12, 18 and 24 months posttransplant. Survival analysis determined onset rates and risk factors.
resultsThe panic disorder rate was higher (P<.05) in lung than heart recipients (18% vs. 8%). Lung and heart recipients did not differ on rates of transplant-related posttraumatic stress disorder (15% vs. 14%), generalized anxiety disorder (4% vs. 3%) or major depression (30% vs. 26%). Risk factors for disorders included pretransplant psychiatric history, female gender, longer wait for transplant, and early posttransplant health problems and psychosocial characteristics (e.g., poorer caregiver support and use of avoidant coping).
conclusionsHeightened vigilance for panic disorder in lung recipients and major depression in all cardiothoracic recipients is warranted. Strategies to prevent psychiatric disorder should target recipients based not only on pretransplant characteristics but on early posttransplant characteristics as well.
