Network analysis of mood symptoms in adolescents with or at high risk for bipolar disorder.
Article in Bipolar disorders, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
objectivesNetwork analyses of psychopathology examine the relationships between individual symptoms in an attempt to establish the causal interactions between symptoms that may give rise to episodes of psychiatric disorders. We conducted a network analysis of mood symptoms in adolescents with or at risk for bipolar spectrum disorders.
methodsThe sample consisted of 272 treatment-seeking adolescents with or at high risk for bipolar disorder who had at least subsyndromal depressive or (hypo)manic symptoms. Based on symptom scores assessed via semi-structured interviews, we constructed the network of depressive and manic symptoms and identified the most central symptoms and symptom communities within the network. We used bootstrapping analyses to determine the reliability of network parameters.
resultsSymptoms within the depressive and manic mood poles were more related to each other than to symptoms of the opposing mood pole. Four communities were identified, including a depressive symptom community and three manic symptom communities. Fatigue and depressed mood were the strongest individual symptoms within the overall network (ie the most highly correlated with other symptoms), followed by motor hyperactivity. Mood lability and irritability were found to be "bridge" symptoms that connected the two mood poles.
conclusionsSymptoms of activity/energy (ie fatigue and hyperactivity) and depressed mood are the most prominent mood symptoms among youth with bipolar spectrum disorders. Mood lability and irritability represent potential warning signs of emergent episodes of either polarity. Targeting these central and bridge symptoms would lead to more efficient assessments and therapeutic interventions for bipolar disorder.
