Mental health concerns in patients with symptomatic peripheral artery disease: Insights from the PORTRAIT registry.
Article in Journal of psychosomatic research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
objectivesTo document the prevalence and patient profiles of mental health concerns in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) seen in the vascular specialty setting.
methodsIn a cohort of 1275 patients presenting to 16 specialty clinics with new or worsening claudication, symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress were quantified in 957 patients. The Patient Health Questionnaire-8 (PHQ-8), Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale-2 (GAD-2), and Perceived Stress Scale-4 (PSS-4) were assessed for mental health concerns at the initial PAD work-up and repeated 12 months later. PHQ-8 ≥ 10, GAD-2 ≥ 3 and PSS-4 ≥ 6 were considered significant for depression, anxiety and stress respectively. Patient characteristics were compared in groups divided by presence of 0, 1, 2 or all 3 mental health concerns.
resultsOn the initial office visit, 336/957 (35%) of patients had high levels of at least one of the three mental health concerns. At both baseline and 12 months, high levels of perceived stress were most often reported (28.7% and 17.5% respectively), followed by symptoms of depression (14.1% and 8.9%) and then anxiety (8.3% and 5.7%). Patients with mental health concerns were more often female, younger, had more financial strain, less social support, and worse perceived health status.
conclusionsMental health concerns, particularly stress, are highly prevalent in patients with PAD, especially upon first presenting with new or worsening symptoms. The role of stress and how it may impede successful PAD management and impact subsequent outcomes warrants further investigation.
