Prevalence of Depression in Patients With Post-Acute Coronary Syndrome and the Role of Cardiac Rehabilitation in Reducing the Risk of Depression: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or ischaemic heart disease are at risk of developing anxiety and depression. This systematic review aims to identify the various risk factors and the role of cardiac rehabilitation in reducing the risk of depression in patients after AMI. In this review, we included data on the prevalence of depression in patients post-AMI for the years 2016-2017 from a cardiac rehabilitation unit at Morriston Hospital, Swansea, a primary coronary angioplasty centre. Results from our meta-analysis were compared with the findings of previous studies. Our data showed the prevalence of depression to be 14% pre-cardiac rehabilitation and 3% post-cardiac rehabilitation. A meta-analysis of seven studies showed the prevalence to be approximately 20-35% depending on the type of questionnaire or screening method used. Gender, marital status, age, and sedentary lifestyle were found to be risk factors for depression post-acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Females, patients aged >65 years, and those who were single, lived alone, or widowed were at a higher risk of depression, and patients with sedentary lifestyles were more likely to have post-ACS depression. Depression in patients post-myocardial infarction was also associated with increased mortality and morbidity risk as well as higher hospital re-admission and future cardiac events. The meta-analysis showed significant publication bias, studies with negative results were less likely to be published, and the study data were heterogeneous. The pooled estimate for depression estimated using the random-effects model was 1.78 (95% confidence interval = 1.58-2.01).
