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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundCoronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is a common intervention for managing coronary artery disease, which is often accompanied by postoperative psychological challenges such as anxiety and depression. This systematic review aims to evaluate the benefits of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in reducing anxiety and depression symptoms and improving overall health outcomes in patients' post-coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.

methodsA search of Science Direct, PsycINFO, PubMed, Google Scholar, VHL, Cochrane, and Scopus databases was conducted until October 2023. Inclusion criteria encompassed randomized controlled trials reporting on CBT or CBT-based interventions tailored for CABG patients, with anxiety and depression symptoms, as well as quality of life, as primary outcomes. Hospital stay and satisfaction with therapy were considered secondary outcomes.

resultsThe findings highlighted that CBT led to improvements in anxiety and depression symptoms, as well as reduced hospital stays, lowered hopelessness levels, and increased satisfaction with therapy. The long-term effects of CBT on CABG patients need to be studied, focusing on larger samples and patient compliance. Furthermore, assessment of CBT implementation in real-world clinical settings is important for feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness across different regions.

conclusionThis review underscores the positive impact of CBT on mitigating depression and anxiety symptoms and boosting the quality of life of individuals post-CABG surgery.
