Association between Type D personality and outcomes in patients with non-ischemic heart failure.
Article in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purposeThe "distressed" (Type D) personality trait has been reported to be over-represented in patients with heart failure (HF) compared to the background population and may provide prognostic information for mortality. We examined the association between Type D personality and outcomes in the DANISH trial (The Danish Study to Assess the Efficacy of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators in Patients with Non-ischemic Systolic Heart Failure on Mortality).
methodsThe DANISH trial included a total of 1116 patients with non-ischemic HF on guideline-recommended therapy. Type D personality was assessed with the Type D Scale (DS14) at baseline and investigated through follow-up accordingly. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to compare hazard ratios (HR) of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality.
resultsType D personality assessment was completed by 873 (78%) patients at baseline and Type D personality was found in 120 (14%) patients. The median follow-up was 67 months (interquartile range [IQR] 48-83). Among patients with versus without Type D personality, 22% versus 19% died from all-cause yielding similar incidence rates of 4.62 (95% CI 3.14-6.87) versus 3.95 (95% CI 3.37-4.66) per 100 person-years. The adjusted risk of all-cause mortality was not significantly different in patients with versus without Type D personality with an adjusted HR of 1.31 (95% CI 0.84-2.03, p = 0.23) with similar results for cardiovascular death (HR 1.46 (95% CI 0.88-2.44, p = 0.15).
conclusionType D personality was not significantly associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality or cardiovascular death in patients with non-ischemic HF.
