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

objectiveTo examine the association between clinical and treatment characteristics and antidepressants (AD)-induced manic switch in bipolar disorder (BD).

methodsTotal of 238 euthymic BD patients, who had been followed-up for at least 6 months at the outpatient clinic of Haseki Training and Research Hospital in istanbul, Turkey, were enrolled in this cross-sectional study in 2016. Semi-structured data form, the mood chart, and the mirror-designated assessment were applied to all subjects. The files of the patients were retrospectively reviewed and the patients using ADs were compared as AD-monotherapy (AD-m) and AD-combination (AD-c) groups, then divided into 2 subgroups according to the presence/absence of manic switch under AD treatment.

resultsFifty eight (47.15%) patients out of 123 who received ADs at least once had experienced a manic switch under AD treatment. The rate of manic switch in AD-m patients was significantly higher than the AD-c group. Independent from being monotherapy or combined treatment, AD use longer than 12 months was negatively associated with the occurrence of manic switch.

conclusionOur study suggests that the risk of manic switch is especially prominent in the first months of AD use. Antidepressants use in combining it with a mood stabilizers (MS) may not be adequate in preventing switches in shorter terms. However, in longer term uses addition of MS to ADs may decrease the risk of switches.
