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

objectiveThe present study was conducted to compare the effects of pharmacological treatments during the acute and maintenance phases of mood episodes, sociodemographic, and clinical characteristics between a shorter time to hospitalization group (<12 months) and a longer time to hospitalization group (≥12 months).

methodsThe discharge medication for the first hospitalization was considered the acute treatment and the medication used during the week prior to the second hospitalization at the outpatient clinic was considered the maintenance treatment. Additionally, the charts were reviewed to examine a variety of demographic and clinical characteristics.

resultsPatients in the shorter time to hospitalization group were more likely to be unmarried and/or unemployed, have had a previous hospital admission for a mood episode, and have used antidepressant during the acute phase than those in the longer time to hospitalization group. Patients in the shorter time to hospitalization group were also less likely to use olanzapine, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, or mood stabilizer monotherapy as a maintenance treatment than were patients in the longer time to hospitalization group.

conclusionPredictors for shorter time to hospitalization were associated with number of previous hospital admissions for a mood episode, being unmarried and/or unemployed, and antidepressant use during the acute phase.
