Depressive Symptoms and Quality of Life in Patients With Heart Failure and an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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: Heart failure (HF) is associated with development of depressive symptoms and reduced quality of life (QoL). Patients with HF and an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) were evaluated regarding depressive symptoms and QoL. Methods: The present study included 446 patients with HF and an ICD. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9), QoL was evaluated using the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ). Functional ability and exercise tolerance were assessed at inclusion and after 6 months with help of the 6-min walking test (6MWT). Results: Patients included in the study had a mean age of 65.8 years and were predominantly male (83.6%), with mostly ischemic ( Conclusion: Depressive symptoms correlate with low QoL and lower long-term functional status in patients with HF and an ICD. Depressive symptoms are associated with smoking and obesity, which themselves are risk factors for a poor prognosis in HF. Only a small fraction of patients with HF and ICD showing depressive symptoms receives appropriate treatment. Assessing depressive symptoms and lifestyle factors should be part of a multimodal treatment plan in patients with HF and an ICD.
