Designing and testing of a health-economic Markov model to assess the cost-effectiveness of treatments for Bipolar disorder: TiBipoMod.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Bipolar disorder is an often recurrent mood disorder that is associated with a significant economic and health-related burden. Increasing the availability of health-economic evidence may aid in reducing this burden. The aim of this study is to describe the design of an open-source health-economic Markov model for assessing the cost-effectiveness of interventions in the treatment of Bipolar Disorders type I and II, TiBipoMod. Methods: TiBipoMod is a decision-analytic Markov model that allows for user-defined incorporation of both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for the treatment of BD. TiBipoMod includes the health states remission, depression, (hypo)mania and death. Costs and effects are modeled over a lifetime horizon from a societal and healthcare perspective, and results are presented as the total costs, Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALY), Life Years (LY), and incremental costs per QALYs and LYs gained. Results: Functionalities of TiBipoMod are demonstrated by performing a cost-utility analysis of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) compared to the standard of care. Treatment with MBCT resulted in an increase of 0.18 QALYs per patient, and a dominant incremental cost-effectiveness ratio per QALY gained for MBCT at a probability of being cost-effective of 71% when assuming a €50,000 willingness-to-pay threshold. Conclusion: TiBipoMod can easily be adapted and used to determine the cost-effectiveness of interventions in the treatment in Bipolar Disorder type I and II, and is freely available for academic purposes upon request at the authors.
