Understanding the Burden of Depression and Anxiety in Myocardial Infarction (MI) Patients: Findings From a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Cureus, 2025. 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
Psychological disturbances are very common after myocardial infarction (MI) and can slow recovery. We did a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA)-based search in Cochrane, Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus till August 2023 using terms (Depression OR anxiety) AND ((Myocardial AND infarction) OR MI). Studies on adults reporting post-MI depression or anxiety with any design were included. Animal studies, abstracts only, and irrelevant designs were excluded. Due to high heterogeneity, a random-effects model was used. A total of 13 studies were analyzed (n=4730 for depression, n=1256 for anxiety). Depression was seen in 1217 patients, with a pooled prevalence of 0.341 (95% CI: 0.214-0.467, I²=99.22%). Anxiety was seen in 206 patients, with a pooled prevalence of 0.285 (95% CI: -0.059-0.630, I²=98.85%). A wide CI for anxiety is due to extreme heterogeneity and few studies, not true negative prevalence. Findings show that depression and anxiety remain frequent but still under-recognized after MI, stressing the need for routine screening and early psychological support in post-MI care.
