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
Individuals who experience symptoms of mania in the form of a manic episode (ME) are at a greater risk of experiencing psychological distress. Given that a ME is a period during which one can become extremely socially dysfunctional, the potential influence of social support is especially important to explore. The primary objective of this study was to examine whether perceived social support predicts psychological distress in a sample of Canadian adults who have self-reported ME symptoms within the last 12-months. Using a cross-sectional, national datafile, 220 Canadians between 20 and 64 years who met the criteria for a ME within the last 12-months were investigated using the Social Provisions Scale (SPS), and the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10). Results indicated that the ME sample experienced significantly higher distress and significantly lower perceived social support than the adult Canadian population. Further, social support in the form of reassurance of worth was associated with lower levels of psychological distress, but only for the male ME sample, and the overall (male and female combined) ME sample. Despite some limitations, this study adds to the research on mania as its own experience outside of comorbidities and indicates the important and specific role social support plays in terms of psychological well-being.
