Anxiety and depression in inherited channelopathy patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.
Article in Heart rhythm O2, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundImplantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are an effective treatment in some patients with inherited heart disease, including inherited channelopathies, yet they have also been shown to impact patients' psychological health.
objectiveWe sought to improve understanding of the level of anxiety and depression as well as device acceptance among inherited channelopathy patients with an ICD.
methodsEligible patients seen at Johns Hopkins Hospital were sent a survey, which included the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Cardiac Anxiety Questionnaire (CAQ), and the Florida Patient Acceptance Survey (FPAS). Student
resultsAmong eligible patients (n = 65), 32 individuals (49%) completed the survey. The rate of device-related complications was 34%, and 41% of patients experienced 1 or more ICD shocks. Twelve patients (38%) had an abnormal HADS anxiety subscore and 5 patients (16%) had an abnormal HADS depression subscore (score ≥ 8). Secondary-prevention ICDs were associated with an abnormal HADS anxiety subscore (
conclusionA high prevalence of generalized anxiety was identified among inherited channelopathy patients with ICDs. High device acceptance and lack of association with ICD shocks or complications indicate that further research is necessary to understand this increased incidence.
