Prognostic value of exercise capacity among patients with treated depression: The Henry Ford Exercise Testing (FIT) Project.

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
backgroundExercise capacity is associated with survival in the general population. Whether this applies to patients with treated depression is not clear. HYPOTHESIS: High exercise capacity remains associated with lower risk of all-cause mortality (ACM) and nonfatal myocardial infraction (MI) among patients with treated depression.
methodsWe included 5128 patients on antidepressant medications who completed a clinically indicated exercise stress test between 1991 and 2009. Patients were followed for a median duration of 9.4 years for ACM and 4.5 years for MI. Exercise capacity was estimated in metabolic equivalents of tasks (METs). Cox proportional hazards regression models were used.
resultsPatients with treated depression who achieved ≥12 METs (vs those achieving <6 METs) were younger (age 46 ± 9 vs 61 ± 12 years), more often male (60% vs 23%), less often black (10% vs 27%), and less likely to be hypertensive (51% vs 86%), have DM (9% vs 38%), or be obese (11% vs 36%) or dyslipidemic (45% vs 54%). In the fully adjusted Cox proportional hazard regression model, exercise capacity was associated with a lower ACM (HR per 1-MET increase in exercise capacity: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.79-0.85, P < 0.001) and nonfatal MI (HR: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.87-0.97, P = 0.004).
conclusionsExercise capacity had an inverse association with both ACM and nonfatal MI in patients with treated depression, independent of cardiovascular risk factors. These results highlight the potential impact of assessing exercise capacity to identify risk, as well as promoting an active lifestyle among treated depression patients.
