Persistent anxiety and in-hospital complications after acute coronary syndrome.
Article in International journal of health sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesTo investigate the effects of pre-event persistent anxiety on in-hospital complications and length of stay (LOS) in patients who experienced acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
methodsThis was a prospective study with patients seeking treatment for ACS events. Anxiety was measured 2 times before the event in 600 patients with pre-existing coronary heart disease (CHD). Patients were followed for 2 years or until they developed an ACS event. 120 patients developed ACS events (rate 20%). Complications and LOS were abstracted from medical records.
resultsPersistently non-anxious patients have lower anxiety scores at 3 months follow-up than baseline (mean [standard deviation (SD)], 6.1 [0.24] vs. 3.9 [0.95],
conclusionAnxiety measured up to 2 years before an ACS event was predictive of in-hospital complications. Clinicians caring for patients with CHD need to be as equally aware of the importance of assessing and treating persistent anxiety as clinicians caring for patients hospitalized for an ACS.
