Association of Depression with Subclinical Coronary Atherosclerosis: a Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Journal of cardiovascular translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
To assess causal association of depression with subclinical coronary atherosclerosis, we performed computer-based and manual search of literature for studies which had assessed relationship of depression disorder with coronary atherosclerosis. All studies had diagnosed depression with validated tools in patients without diagnosed coronary artery disease. The Bradford Hill criteria of cause-effect association was consistently fulfilled by those studies which achieved statistical significance and further showed incremental strength of association with one or more of the following attributes: (1) prospective cohort study, met cause-effect criteria of "temporality"; (2) relatively severe and/or longer period of depression, met cause-effect criteria of "dose-response"; (3) depression with predominantly somatic symptoms cluster, met cause-effect criteria of "scientific plausibility"; (4) multiethnic larger sample, met cause-effect criteria of "population equivalence"; and (5) multicenter study, met criteria of "environmental equivalence." Our results show that there is a significant association of depression with coronary atherosclerosis at its subclinical stages.
