In one paragraph

Review in International journal of cardiology. Congenital heart disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07697755 (A Randomised Controlled Feasibility Trial Exploring an Interoceptive-Based Intervention in Patients With Congenital Heart Disease), which is not on this map. Cited by 17 papers.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

Mental health issues are common in individuals with congenital heart disease (CHD), stemming from various factors such as traumatic experiences, existential questions, and genetic predisposition. This article provides an overview of the literature on mental disorders and mental health in adults with CHD (ACHD) and presents new data on mental health as a predictor of quality of life (QoL). Empirical data show that disorders such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, psychosis, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and autism spectrum disorders occur more often in people with CHD than in healthy counterparts (Graphical abstract). Further, mental health is a strong predictor of QoL. Therefore, psychological interventions should be integrated into CHD care to enhance mental health and QoL of afflicted patients.
