Psychosocial Well-Being and Progression of Coronary Artery Calcification in Midlife Women.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background Prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a public health priority. The combination of physical activity, a healthy diet, and abstaining from tobacco plays an important role in prevention whereas aspects of psychosocial well-being have largely been examined separately with conflicting results. This study evaluated whether the combination of indices of psychosocial well-being was associated with less progression of coronary artery calcium (CAC). Methods and Results Participants were 312 women (mean age 50.8) from the SWAN (Study of Women's Health Across the Nation) ancillary Heart Study, free of clinical CVD at baseline. A composite psychosocial well-being score was created from 6 validated psychosocial questionnaires assessing optimism, vitality, life engagement, life satisfaction, rewarding multiple roles, and positive affect. Subclinical CAC progression was defined as an increase of ≥10 Agatston units over 2.3 years measured using electron beam tomography. Relative risk (RR) regression models examined the effect of well-being on CAC progression, progressively adjusting for sociodemographic factors, depression, healthy lifestyle behaviors, and standard CVD risk factors. At baseline, 42.9% had a CAC score >0, and progression was observed in 17.6%. Well-being was associated with less progression (RR, 0.909; 95% CI, 0.843-0.979;
