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
backgroundSpontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a cause of acute coronary syndrome, primarily affecting women. SCAD is associated with elevated psychological distress and cardiac rehabilitation programs rarely meet these patients' mental health needs. Although the challenges faced by SCAD survivors are well documented, evidence on how patients want them to be addressed remains limited.
objectivesThis study aimed to examine psychological intervention preferences among SCAD survivors, including potential sex differences.
methodsPatients diagnosed with SCAD within the past 3 years were recruited from 6 Canadian hospitals. Participants completed questionnaires assessing sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, and rated their interest in intervention content and delivery methods using a 5-point Likert scale. Descriptive statistics were calculated and sex differences were analyzed using t-tests.
resultsAmong 326 participants (92.9% female; mean age 53.3 ± 11.1 years) top-rated intervention components included stress management (3.7 ± 1.2; 64.5% rated very/extremely interested), relaxation techniques (3.5 ± 1.2; 55.4%), cognitive behavioral strategies (3.5 ± 1.3; 56.8%), and processing the SCAD-related trauma (3.4 ± 1.4; 53.5%). Patients preferred SCAD-specific programming (3.9 ± 1.1; 70.8%) delivered by health care professional (3.4 ± 1.3; 56.2%) offered within 1 to 3 months postevent (3.5 ± 1.4; 61.8%). Women expressed greater interest than men in topics such as health advocacy and communication with children (all P < 0.05). Many women (55.1%) also conveyed high interest in gender-specific interventions.
conclusionsSCAD survivors prefer early, individualized, SCAD- and gender-specific interventions focusing on cognitive, emotional, and trauma processing, delivered by health care professionals. Psychological interventions targeting these elements need to be developed and tested for SCAD survivors.
