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

Classical concepts of bipolarity (bipolar I and bipolar II) have sometimes been extended into a broader spectrum that includes a wide variety of conditions previously diagnosed as separate forms of psychopathology. Differential diagnosis remains important, particularly in personality disorders characterized by affective instability, and in behavior disorders affecting pre-pubertal children. In the absence of biological markers or other external sources of validity, as well as lack of evidence for response to pharmacological treatment when disorders are defined more broadly, the bipolar spectrum remains an unproven hypothesis.
