1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesPrevious research suggests that cognitive performance worsens during manic and depressed states in bipolar disorder (BD). However, studies have often relied upon between-subject, cross-sectional analyses and smaller sample sizes. The current study examined the relationship between mood symptoms and cognition in a within-subject, longitudinal study with a large sample.

methodsSeven hundred and seventy-three individuals with BD completed a neuropsychological battery and mood assessments at baseline and 1-year follow-up. The battery captured eight domains of cognition: fine motor dexterity, visual memory, auditory memory, emotion processing, and four aspects of executive functioning: verbal fluency and processing speed; conceptual reasoning and set shifting; processing speed with influence resolution; and inhibitory control. Structural equation modeling was conducted to examine the cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships between depressive symptoms, manic symptoms, and cognitive performance. Age and education were included as covariates. Eight models were run with the respective cognitive domains.

resultsBaseline mood positively predicted 1-year mood, and baseline cognition positively predicted 1-year cognition. Mood and cognition were generally not related for the eight cognitive domains. Baseline mania was predictive in one of eight baseline domains (conceptual reasoning and set shifting); baseline cognition predicted 1-year symptoms (inhibitory control-depression symptoms, visual memory-manic symptoms).

conclusionsIn a large community sample of patients with bipolar spectrum disorder, cognitive performance appears to be largely unrelated to depressive and manic symptoms, suggesting that cognitive dysfunction is stable in BD and is not dependent on mood state in BD. Future work could examine how treatment affects relationship between cognition and mood. SIGNIFICANT OUTCOMES: Cognitive dysfunction appears to be largely independent of mood symptoms in bipolar disorder. LIMITATIONS: The sample was generally highly educated (M = 15.22), the majority of the subsample with elevated manic symptoms generally presented with concurrent depressive elevated symptoms, and the study did not stratify recruitment based on mood state.
