Interventions to Enhance Early Recognition and Management of Mental Health Symptoms in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease: A Rapid Scoping Review.
Review in CJC open, 2026. 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
Background: Poor mental health is a recognized risk factor for adverse cardiovascular outcomes, yet depression, anxiety, and stress remain underdiagnosed and undertreated in individuals with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Effective strategies to promote early recognition and management of these conditions are not well established. We conducted a rapid scoping review to identify interventions aimed at improving mental health recognition and management in adult CVD population without diagnosed mental health conditions. Methods: We systematically searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Epistemonikos for articles published between January 1, 2014, and December 28, 2024. Results: Of 11,645 screened studies, 24 met inclusion criteria: 12 systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and 12 randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Most focused on coronary artery disease or stroke patients. Interventions included mindfulness interventions (n = 9), routine screening (n = 2), interactive mHealth education (n = 2), psychosocial interventions (n = 4), caregiver education (n = 4), self-care (n = 1), and integrated care (n = 1). Interventions were multimodal pairing patient education with structured clinical encounters. Reporting of delivery methods was inconsistent and fewer than half assessed adherence. Only two RCTs involved patients in intervention design. Primary outcomes included changes in psychological distress symptoms and quality-of-life measures. Conclusion: A variety of interventions target early recognition and management of mental health symptoms in CVD patients. The approach of combining self-management with clinician check-ins aligns with contemporary models of integrated care. Standardized reporting and greater interest-holder engagement are needed to improve intervention development, implementation, and evaluation.
