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

objectiveElevated posttraumatic stress symptoms (PSS) impact ∼13% of coronary artery disease patients after acute cardiac events and may increase the risk of recurrent events through elevated heart rate (HR), driven by high sympathetic nervous system activity. We investigated whether PSS assessed with the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for the

methodParticipants (

resultsAlthough the elevated PSS group's mean HR was not significantly higher (3.50 beats per minute,

conclusionsFindings suggest the potential value of targeting postcardiac event PSS to mitigate chronic sympathetic arousal. The use of intensive monitoring and high-resolution behavioral data strengthens the evidence for a physiological pathway linking psychological distress to elevated HR in cardiac patients.
