Depressive symptoms after CABG surgery: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Harvard review of psychiatry. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06706323 (Predictive Modelling of Clinically Significant Depressive Symptoms After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery), which is not on this map. Cited by 28 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.

Abstract
LEARNING
objectivesAfter participating in this educational activity, the reader should be better able to measure the risk of depression before and after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery; examine the course of depression after CABG; and apply the results of the study to the treatment of patients.
objectiveDepression is highly comorbid with coronary artery disease. Clinicians face the question of whether patients' depressive symptoms will improve after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). The objective of this meta-analysis is to determine the course of depressive symptoms after CABG.
methodsEMBASE, PubMed, and PsycINFO were searched for studies assessing depression before and after CABG. Meta-analyses were performed for depression at early (1-2 weeks), recovery (>2 weeks to 2 months), mid (>2 months to 6 months), and late (>6 months) postoperative time points. Heterogeneity and publication bias were analyzed.
resultsThirty-nine studies were included in the meta-analysis. Twelve reported dichotomous outcomes; 18 reported continuous outcomes; and 9 reported both. Risk of depression was increased early (relative risk [RR] = 1.27; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-1.61). There was a significantly decreased risk of depression at recovery (RR = 0.78; 95% CI, 0.67-0.90), mid (RR = 0.64; 95% CI, 0.58-0.70), and late (RR = 0.68; 95% CI, 0.58-0.79) time points without heterogeneity. All studies reporting continuous depression scales had significant heterogeneity.
conclusionsThe risk of depression decreased post-CABG when depression was measured dichotomously. While depression improves overall and remits for some patients after CABG, the majority of patients will not experience remission of depression. Preoperative and postoperative depression monitoring is important.
