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

backgroundCoronary heart disease (CHD) has shown a consistent upward trend in global incidence in recent years. Notably, older adults with CHD complicated by arrhythmia exhibit significantly higher susceptibility to psychological distress compared with the general CHD population. This increased vulnerability has garnered growing clinical and research interest in the potential therapeutic benefits of structured psychological interventions for alleviating comorbid depressive and anxiety symptoms in this high-risk demographic.

aimTo evaluate the efficacy of psychological care in reducing anxiety and depressive symptoms among older adult patients with CHD and comorbid arrhythmia.

methodsThis retrospective analysis included 100 patients with CHD and arrhythmia admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University from June 2024 to December 2024. Of these, 49 patients in the control group received routine care, whereas 51 patients in the observation group received psychological care in addition to routine care. Therapeutic outcomes were compared between the two groups. Psychological distress was assessed before and after providing nursing care. A treatment compliance scale developed by the hospital was used to assess adherence. Complication rates were also compared. Quality of life was evaluated using the Short Form-36 Health Survey after providing nursing care. Patient satisfaction with nursing care was assessed using a self-designed questionnaire.

resultsThe observation group demonstrated a higher overall treatment effectiveness compared with the control group (

conclusionPsychological care for patients with CHD and comorbid arrhythmia effectively enhanced therapeutic outcomes, reduced anxiety and depression, improved treatment compliance and quality of life, and lowered the risk of complications. These findings support the broader implementation of psychological care for patients with CHD in clinical practice.
