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

objectivesTranscranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)-derived cortical reactivity studies provide a unique opportunity to non-invasively study gamma amino butyric acid (GABA)-mediated inhibitory neurotransmission in bipolar disorder (BD). Earlier studies were conducted in smaller samples and on patients who were on medications that can potentially confound the results. We aimed to study short-interval (SICI) and long-interval intracortical inhibition (LICI) in medication-naïve/free symptomatic (manic) BD patients (n=39), first episode mania (FEM) patients who had recently (≤6 months) remitted with treatment (remitted FEM; n = 28) and healthy subjects (HSs; n = 45).

methodsResting motor threshold (RMT), stimulation intensity to elicit a 1-mV motor evoked potential (MEP) (SI

resultsMotor thresholds were higher in the manic BD and HS groups compared to the remitted FEM group (P < .001). SICI was lower (P = .026) but LICI was higher (P = .044) in the manic BD and remitted FEM groups compared to the HS group.

conclusionsLower motor thresholds in remitted FEM perhaps reflect the effect of treatment, and could be studied as potential prognostic neuromarkers. Inverse findings for SICI (reduced) and LICI (increased) in BD indicate a possible differential involvement of the GABA
