Predictors of completion of a psychological-behavioral intervention in acute coronary syndrome patients.
Article in Journal of psychosomatic research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveDropout from health behavior interventions in patients with heart disease is a major clinical issue that can impact recovery and prognosis. Positive psychology (PP)-based treatments have the potential to promote health behaviors, but predictors of PP intervention completion have not been examined in persons with heart disease.
methodsAmong 128 patients receiving a phone-based PP intervention to promote physical activity among acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients, numerous baseline sociodemographic, medical, and psychological variables, along with self-reported pre/post improvements in happiness and optimism (on 0-10 Likert scales) associated with an initial PP exercise, were examined as potential predictors of intervention completion. Logistic and linear regression analyses were used to assess relationships between these predictors and (a) intervention completion (at least 4 of 8 sessions completed) and (b) number of total sessions completed.
resultsNo patient characteristic was associated with greater likelihood of completing the PP intervention. However, immediate pre-post change in optimism following the initial exercise was associated with intervention completion (odds ratio = 1.98; 95% confidence interval: 1.28-3.05; p = .002; mean post-exercise increase in optimism 0.79 [SD 1.52] in completers vs. mean optimism decrease of 0.59 [SD 1.42] in non-completers).
conclusionsPre-post change in optimism with a single PP activity predicted completion of an 8-week PP-based health behavior intervention in post-ACS patients. This information could be used clinically by having potential enrollees complete a single PP activity to assess intervention fit.
