1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAfter myocardial infarction (MI), patients have an elevated risk for depression, which has a negative impact on morbidity and mortality for patients. As depression and memory function are associated, we examined them in the context of one another. Our objectives were to determine the proportion of patients with either depression only, memory loss only, or both depression and memory loss and to examine the correlates with each outcome.

methodsThis study was a cohort of 264 patients who had myocardial infarction. Data sources included medical records and phone interviews.

resultsThe participants' mean age was 62 ± 12.2 years and mean body mass index was 28.4 ± 5.8 kg/m

conclusionActivity level and poor health were identified as correlates of depression as well as combined memory loss and depression. Future studies should aim to improve screening for depression among post-MI patients and develop appropriate interventions to raise the level of activity.
