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: The prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in India is about 7% to 13%. CAD may exacerbate psychological distress and raise the risk of cardiac event following surgeries. Aim: To study the impact of personality type on psychological distress in individuals having CAD who underwent coronary angioplasty. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional correlational study was carried out in the Cardiology department of a tertiary care hospital on 40 patients who had undergone coronary angioplasty for CAD. Data were collected during a period of 3 to 10 months, post coronary angioplasty. The subjects were interviewed and evaluated with the Type A/B Behaviour Pattern Scale, Type D Scale-14, Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale, Perceived Stress Scale, Locus of Control Scale, and Subjective Well-Being Inventory. Spearman's Rank Correlation coefficient assessed the association between personality and psychological distress. Kruskal-Wallis test with Results: Among 40 participants, 21 people had Type AD personality, 8 people had Type A personality, and 11 people had Type D personality. It was found that people who have a combination of Type A and Type D personality characteristics (Type AD personality) have more psychological distress than those having Type A or Type D personality alone, thereby demonstrating the relative impact of Type AD personality on psychological distress. Conclusion: The study shows the interrelation between personality and cardiac event and delineates the importance of considering the psychological distress as a major risk factor for CAD, especially after coronary angioplasty.
