Understanding the Barriers and Facilitators to Employment for People with Bipolar Disorder.
Article in The Psychiatric quarterly, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
People with Bipolar Disorder (BD) consistently report a desire for employment; however, this is not reflected in employment figures. Individuals' perceptions of barriers to employment, along with endorsement of facilitators to employment remain under-investigated. We aimed to address this limitation by: (i) first examining differences in employed versus unemployed individuals (demographic, clinical, functioning); then (ii) identifying barriers and/or facilitators to employment, perception of same, and subsequent impact on employment. We assessed demographics, functioning, and illness-related characteristics in 35 participants with BD (19 employed, 16 unemployed). Participants were asked to indicate perception of common barriers and facilitators to employment. Groups did not differ regarding demographic or clinical variables. High levels of absenteeism, termination of last role and commonly perceived barriers were attributed to mental ill-health. 93.3% of unemployed participants reportedly desired employment, and more perceived barriers were observed in the unemployed group. Identified facilitators included increased support and flexible work strategies. A comprehensive understanding of perceptions of limiting and helpful factors related to employment for people with BD was obtained. These findings have implications for service provision, encouraging targeted discussion, and tailored treatment approaches to individual's unique perceptions of factors related to employment.
