Independent predictors of physical health in community-dwelling patients with coronary heart disease in Singapore.
Article in Health and quality of life outcomes, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundPatients with coronary heart disease (CHD) experienced poor physical health which was found to be associated with higher hospital readmission rates and increased mortality. The study aimed to identify the independent predictors of physical health in Singaporean patients with CHD.
methodsA consecutive sample of 129 patients with CHD was recruited from the medical heart clinic of a tertiary public hospital in Singapore. A set of questionnaires including the Short Form 12-item health survey version 2, Perceived Stress Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and Cardiac Self-Efficacy Scale were used to measure the study outcomes. The patients' socio-demographic and clinical data were also collected.
resultsA multivariate linear regression analysis indicated that depression (B = -0.766, p < 0.05) and self-efficacy for maintaining function (B = 2.351, p < 0.05) remained significant while the other variables were adjusted and identified as the independent predictors of physical health in Singaporean patients with CHD.
conclusionsThis study has shed some light on the key factors influencing the physical health of Singaporean patients with CHD. The finding suggests tailored interventions that target mitigating a patient's depression and promote self-efficacy for maintaining function may be helpful in improving patients' physical health and quality of life.
