Supporting Emotional Recovery After Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: Development and Pilot Testing an Online Facilitated Support-Group Program.
Article in Journal of clinical psychology in medical settings, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a major medical event with a high burden of psychosocial sequelae. SCAD survivors require psychological support to facilitate recovery. This pilot study involved feasibility testing of an online group support program for SCAD survivors, co-designed by clinicians, survivors and researchers. The SCAD Online Support Program uses the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The four-session-manualized program, facilitated by a registered psychologist and a SCAD survivor, was delivered to 33 SCAD survivors (6-7 per group). Participant and Project Advisory Group feedback led to iterative program refinements. Qualitative and quantitative acceptability data were evaluated. Participants completed pre- and post-program questionnaires to assess engaged living (life fulfilment and valued living), enrichment, self-efficacy, anxiety, depression and cardiac distress. Changes in proportions classified as anxious, depressed and distressed were identified. Qualitative comments highlighted the support, camaraderie and skills gained through the program. There were improvements in levels of life fulfilment, valued living, enrichment, self-efficacy, anxiety, depression, and cardiac distress, and reductions in proportions classified as anxious, depressed and distressed. The SCAD Online Support Program was successfully co-designed, implemented and modified, shown to be acceptable to SCAD survivors, and demonstrates potential for improving mental health outcomes.
