Elderly Bipolar Disorder.
Review in Current psychiatry reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
purpose of reviewWith more individuals reaching older ages, bipolar disorder is no longer a rare illness in the elderly. Despite the growing number of the older individuals with the illness, there are few studies that focus on bipolar disorder in the geriatric population leading to gaps in clinical knowledge and treatment. The aim of this study is therefore to increase understanding by summarizing the available literature on the epidemiology, symptomatology, comorbidities, and treatment recommendations in this cohort, as well as to suggest areas for future clinical and research focus. RECENT
findingsThe prevalence of bipolar disorder is underestimated in the geriatric population. The illness maintains the main features observed in the other cohorts but it also has some specific characteristics in the older individuals. In this cohort, psychiatric and medical comorbidities tend to be the rule rather than the exception. Higher rates of cognitive impairments than age- and education-matched groups present across all of the illness phases. Treatment is more challenging in the elderly individuals due to higher rates of comorbidities and susceptibility to medication side effects. Two cohorts of older individuals with bipolar disorder can be recognized, those with symptoms that start earlier in life and those with late-life onset. Although the knowledge about elderly bipolar disorder is only slowly growing, it is increasingly recognized as an illness with unique features. More work is needed to improve diagnosis and to establish treatment guidelines.
