The effect of nurse-led group discussions by race on depressive symptoms in patients with heart failure.
Trial report in Heart & lung : the journal of critical care. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04715490 (Effects of a Multimedia Symptom Management Program on Coping Strategies, Symptom Distress, Depressive Status, and Quality of Life in Patients With Heart Failure), which is not on this map.

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
backgroundAfrican Americans with heart failure (HF) have the highest rates of depression among all ethnicities in the USA.
objectivesTo compare the effects by race on depressive symptoms and topics discussed in the first clinic appointment after HF hospitalization.
methodsThis study is a secondary analysis of data from a randomized clinical trial testing a patient group discussion of HF self-management with 93 Caucasians and 77 African Americans.
resultsReduction in depressive symptoms was significantly greater among African American patients within the intervention group (F = 3.99, p = .047) than controls. There were significant differences by race in four topics (dietitian referral, appointment date, help preparing discussion questions, and advice on worsening HF symptoms) concerning patient-physician discussions.
conclusionThe intervention showed greater effect in reducing depressive symptoms among African Americans than Caucasians. Preparing patients for discussions at physician appointments on diet, depressive symptoms, and HF symptoms is recommended.
