Exploring factors associated with personal recovery in bipolar disorder.
Trial report in Psychology and psychotherapy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPersonal recovery is increasingly recognized as important outcome for people with bipolar disorder (BD), but research addressing associated factors of personal recovery in this group remains scarce. This study aimed to explore the association of sociodemographic variables, social participation, psychopathology, and positive emotion regulation with personal recovery in BD.
methodsBaseline data from a randomized controlled trial and survey data were combined (N = 209) and split into a training (n = 149) and test sample (n = 60). Block-wise regression analyses and model training were used to determine the most relevant predictors. The final parsimonious model was cross-validated in the test sample.
resultsIn the final parsimonious model, satisfaction with social roles (β = .442, p < .001), anxiety symptoms (β = -.328, p < .001), manic symptoms (β = .276, p < .001), and emotion-focused positive rumination (β = .258, p < .001) were independently associated with personal recovery. The model explained 57.3% variance in personal recovery (adjusted R
conclusionsOur findings suggest that especially social participation, anxiety and positive rumination might be relevant treatment targets when aiming to improve personal recovery. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Personal recovery is considered an increasingly important outcome for people with chronic mental health conditions, including bipolar disorder. We found that anxiety and manic symptoms as well as positive rumination and social participation were independently associated with personal recovery in bipolar disorder. Therefore, these outcomes might be relevant treatment targets when aiming to improve personal recovery in bipolar disorder. Possible interventions to improve these outcomes are discussed, including supported employment and vocational rehabilitation for social participation and exercising with savoring strategies to increase positive rumination.
