Psychosocial stress and well-being in patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction in a tertiary care center.
Article in Indian heart journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundPsychosocial factors such as stress have been previously implicated as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). There is little evidence regarding the prevalence of stress among patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
methodsA total of 903 patients with AMI enrolled in the North Indian ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NORIN-STEMI) registry were included in this study. Perceived stress in these subjects was evaluated using the Perceived Stress Scale-10 questionnaire while the World health Organization (WHO-5) Well-being Index was used to evaluate psychological well-being. All these patients were followed up for one month and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were determined.
resultsA majority of patients with AMI had either severe (478 [52.9%]) or moderate stress (347 [38.4%]) while low stress levels were observed in 78 [8.6%] patients. Additionally, most of the patients with AMI (478 [53%]) had WHO-5 well-being index <50%. Subjects with severe stress were younger (50.86 ± 13.31; P < 0.0001), more likely to be males (403 [84.30%]; P = 0.027), were less likely to have optimal level of physical activity (P < 0.0001) and had lower WHO-5 well-being score (45.54 ± 1.94%; P < 0.0001) as compared to those with low and moderate stress levels. On 30-days follow-up, subjects with moderate/severe stress had higher MACE however, the difference was non-significant (2.1% vs 1.04%; P = 0.42).
conclusionA high prevalence of perceived stress and low well-being index was observed in patients presenting with AMI in India.
