[Influence of gender on protective and vulnerability factors, adherence and quality of life in patients with cardiovascular disease].
Observational study in Atencion primaria, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 examine gender differences on specific protective factors (PF: acceptance and resilience), vulnerability factors (VF: anger, depression, and anxiety; adherence to treatment and quality of life (QoL) in cardiovascular patients, as well as to study separately the relationships of these factors with adherence and QoL in females and males.
designObservational and cross-sectional.
settingTwo Primary Care Centres in Gran Canaria.
participantsOne hundred and ninety-eight cardiovascular patients (91 males and 107 females) participated. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Acceptance was assessed by the ICQ scale; resilience by the CD-RISC; depression by the PHQ-9; anxiety by the HADS; Anger-In and Anger-Out by the STAXI-2; QoL by the SF-36; and adherence by a self-reported scale.
resultsFemales exhibited higher anxiety (95% CI: 6.3-7.9) and adherence to reducing smoking (95% CI: 9.4-10.0) and drinking (95% CI: 9.6-10.1), and lower Anger-Out (95% CI: 8.9-10.0), mental QoL (95% CI: 47.0-51.3) and adherence to medication (95% CI: 22.2-23.3) compared to males. Acceptance was associated with better adherence only in women. There were more VF related to worse adherence in males. Anxiety had a negative impact on adherence, and QoL was positively associated with PF, and negatively with VF in both groups.
conclusionsGender differences in QoL, some VF, and adherence are observed, in addition to the beneficial role of Acceptance in women.
