The shape of the corpus callosum is different in bipolar disorder.

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
objectiveBipolar disorder (BD) is a recurrent chronic disorder characterised by fluctuations in mood and energy disposition. Diseases could lead to degenerative alterations in brain structures such as corpus callosum (CC). Studies demonstrated that abnormalities in CC are associated with BD symptoms. The present study aims to analyse the CC of the patients with statistical shape analysis (SSA) and compare the findings with healthy controls.
methodsForty-one BD patients and 41 healthy individuals in similar age groups, which included 23 female and 18 male subjects, participated in the study. CC was marked with landmarks on the mid-sagittal images of each individual. The mean 'Procrustes' point was calculated, and shape deformations were analysed with thin-plate spline analysis.
resultsSignificant differences were observed in the shape of CC between the two groups, where maximum CC deformation was observed in posterior region marks in BD patients. There was no significant difference between the CC area of the BD patients and controls.
conclusionsCC analysis conducted with SSA revealed significant differences between patients and healthy controls. The study findings emphasised the abnormal distribution of white matter in CC and the variable subregional nature of CC in BD patients. This study may enable the development of more targeted and effective treatment strategies by taking into account biological factors and understanding the differences in the brain regions of individuals with BD.
