Psychological eHealth Interventions for Patients With Cardiovascular Diseases: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of medical Internet research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundPsychological distress is recognized as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), contributing to increased morbidity and mortality. While eHealth is increasingly used to deliver psychological interventions, their effectiveness for patients with CVDs remains unclear.
objectiveThis meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of eHealth psychological interventions for patients with CVDs.
methodsEligible studies were retrieved from 5 databases (Embase, Medline, PubMed, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library), covering the period from database inception to December 2024. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the effect of evidence-based psychological eHealth interventions to improve psychosocial well-being and cardiovascular outcomes for people with CVDs were included. The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool (version 2) was used to judge the methodological quality of reviewed studies. RevMan (version 5.3) was used for meta-analysis.
resultsA total of 12 RCTs, comprising 2319 participants from 10 countries, were included in the review. The results demonstrated significant alleviation of depressive symptoms for patients receiving psychological eHealth intervention compared to controls (number of paper included in that particular analysis, n=7; standardized mean difference=-0.30, 95% CI -0.47 to -0.14; I
conclusionsPsychological eHealth interventions, particularly internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy, can significantly reduce depressive symptoms among patients with CVDs. A multidisciplinary approach is crucial for comprehensively improving psychological and cardiovascular outcomes. Future studies should explore integrating persuasive design features into eHealth and involving mental health professionals for intervention delivery.
