Efficacy of digital health interventions on depression and anxiety in patients with cardiac disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Review in European heart journal. Digital health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Aims: Depression and anxiety have a detrimental effect on the health outcomes of patients with heart disease. Digital health interventions (DHIs) could offer a solution to treat depression and anxiety in patients with heart disease, but evidence of its efficacy remains scarce. This review summarizes the latest data about the impact of DHIs on depression/anxiety in patients with cardiac disease. Methods and results: Articles from 2000 to 2021 in English were searched through electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase). Articles were included if they incorporated a randomized controlled trial design for patients with cardiac disease and used DHIs in which depression or anxiety was set as outcomes. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed. A total of 1675 articles were included and the screening identified a total of 17 articles. Results indicated that telemonitoring systems have a beneficial effect on depression [standardized mean difference for depression questionnaire score -0.78 ( Conclusion: Telemonitoring systems for heart failure and PC/cell phone-based psychosocial education and training for patients with heart failure or coronary heart disease had a beneficial effect especially on depression. Regarding telemonitoring for heart failure, this effect was reached even without incorporating a specific psychological intervention. These results illustrate the future potential of DHIs for mental health in cardiology.
