Long-term responsiveness to lithium as a pharmacogenetic outcome variable: treatment and etiologic implications.
Review in Current psychiatry reports, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The importance of genes in the etiology of bipolar disorder has been substantiated through family, twin, and adoption studies. Bipolar disorder is treated at the prophylactic and episodic levels; lithium is one of the most common forms of prophylactic treatment. Recently, pharmacogenetics has come to play an active role in the elucidation of genetic factors that may play a role in modulating lithium response. This strategy has provided hope for advancements in understanding the genetics of lithium-responsive bipolar disorder. This review encompasses studies that have used populations of lithium responders and non-responders to carry out family, linkage, or association studies, as well as some insight into possible mechanisms by which lithium produces its prophylactic effect. Although data examining the pharmacogenetics of bipolar disorder remain scarce, this is a promising avenue of investigation to help genetically define more homogeneous populations or to search for genetic predictors of drug response.
