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.

Abstract

backgroundAdult congenital heart disease (ACHD) can negatively impact quality of life (QOL). Strengthening resilience may improve this and other psychosocial outcomes important for living a meaningful life.

objectivesThe purpose of this study was to describe resilience and key psychosocial health outcomes in ACHD and evaluate the associations between resilience and these outcomes.

methodsWe conducted a prospective cohort study of outpatients with moderate or complex ACHD between May 2021 and June 2022. Participants completed surveys at baseline and 3 months, evaluating resilience (Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-10), health-related QOL (EQ5D-3L, linear analog scale), health status (Euroqol visual analog scale), self-competence (Perceived Competence Scale), and psychological symptom burden (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) and distress (Kessler-6).

resultsThe mean participant age (N = 138) was 41 ± 14 years, 51% were female, and 83% self-identified as non-Hispanic White. ACHD was moderate for 75%; 57% were physiologic class B. Mean baseline resilience score (Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-10) was 29.20 ± 7.54. Participants had relatively good health-related QOL, health status, and self-competence, and low psychological symptom burden and distress. Higher baseline resilience was associated with better values of all outcomes at 3 months (eg, 1 point higher resilience was associated with 0.92 higher linear analog scale; 95% CI: 0.52-1.32) with or without adjustment for demographics. After further adjusting for the baseline psychosocial measure, only the association between resilience and QOL measures at 3 months remained statistically significant.

conclusionsResilience is positively associated with health-related QOL for outpatients with moderate or complex ACHD, though relationships are small in magnitude. Study findings can guide the application of resilience-building interventions to the ACHD population.
