A case of methamphetamine use disorder presenting a condition of ultra-rapid cycler bipolar disorder.

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
Methamphetamine, a potent psychostimulant, may cause a condition of mood disorder among users. However, arguments concerning methamphetamine-induced mood disorder remain insufficient. This case study describes a male with methamphetamine-induced bipolar disorder not accompanied by psychotic symptoms, who twice in an 11-year treatment period, manifested an ultra-rapid cycler condition alternating between manic and depressive mood states with 3- to 7-day durations for each. The conditions ensued after a bout of high-dose methamphetamine use and shifted to a moderately depressive condition within 1 month after the use under a treatment regimen of aripiprazole and mood stabilizers. The cycler condition may be characteristic of a type of the bipolar disorder and a sign usable for characterization. Further efforts are needed to seek distinctive features and to improve diagnostic assessment of methamphetamine-induced mood disorders.
