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

An increasing concern in healthcare is the co-occurrence of mental and somatic disorders in patients, illustrated most prominently by the comorbidity of anxiety and mood disorders (AMD) with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Here we show that this comorbidity is largely mediated by genetic and environmental effects on risk mechanisms from the biological, behavioral, psychological and social domains shared by AMD and CVD. Genetically informative designs support the causal effects of AMD on the risk of CVD but show no evidence of reverse causality. This aligns with meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials that support positive effects of AMD treatment on CVD but find no consistent effects in the opposite direction. We suggest that patients with both CVD and AMD would benefit from a collaborative care approach. Interventions should focus on modifiable shared risk factors for both conditions, with lifestyle improvement and stress management appearing most promising.
