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

backgroundMood variation in manic and depression phases during time is common in type I of Bipolar disorder. Analyzing recurrence require to the related statistical methods. In this paper, we compare the two methods of estimating the GEE and the QIF in recurrence data.

methodsIn this study, data of 255 patients with Bipolar I disorder hospitalized during years of 2007-2011. Recurrence in Bipolar I disorder was as outcome. Patients' characteristics were gender, age of onset, recurrence history in first degree family, and economic status. Under simulation, percentage of missing were generated to vary and handled by complete-case(cc) strategy. Data were analyzed using GEE and QIF methods. Performance of the methods was assessed using Relative Efficiency.

resultsQIF method had more efficiency than GEE method in the data with missing /without missing. Odds of recurrence in a first-degree family history was 30% more than those without a family history (p=0.009). Also, odds of recurrence in high/moderate level of economic status was 23% more than low level status (p=0.014).

conclusionQIF method was more appropriated for modeling recurrence during time with the structure of more correlation and low dropout rate in data. Family history and economic status were more affected recurrence in type I of Bipolar disorder.
