Relationship Between Mood Episode and Employment Status of Outpatients with Bipolar Disorder: Retrospective Cohort Study from the Multicenter Treatment Survey for Bipolar Disorder in Psychiatric Clinics (MUSUBI) Project.
Article in Neuropsychiatric disease and treatment, 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
objectiveThe objective of this study was to clarify the relationship between mood episode and employment in patients with bipolar disorder to help improve their employment status.
methodsAll medical records of patients with bipolar disorder who visited 176 member clinics of the Japanese Association of Neuro-Psychiatric Clinics in September-October 2016 were investigated in September-October 2017. Details of the medical care received were investigated using a survey sheet, which included employment status. Odds ratios of mood episodes for employment status were analyzed using a logistic regression model.
resultsAmong patients aged 60 years or less, 2292 described their occupation. On univariate analysis, odds ratios were statistically significant for depressive episode (OR = 2.68 [1.50-4.78] p = 0.001) and manic episode (OR = 2.64 [1.07-6.47] p = 0.034), whereas no significant difference was noted for mixed episode (OR = 1.72 [0.69-4.33] p = 0.246). On multivariate analysis, odds ratios were statistically significant for depressive episode (OR = 2.16 [1.13-4.13], p = 0.020) and manic episode (OR = 3.55 [1.36-9.25], p = 0.010), whereas no significant difference was noted for mixed episode (OR = 1.83 [0.65-5.14] p = 0.254).
conclusionEmployment status among these patients with bipolar disorder receiving outpatient treatment was 43.5%. Compared to remission episodes, manic and depressive episodes were associated with a higher risk of unemployment.
