Decrease in Serum Lithium Levels Induced by Ursodeoxycholic Acid: A Case Report.
Article in Psychiatry and clinical psychopharmacology, 2021. 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
Lithium is a leading therapeutic option for bipolar patients in the treatment of acute and maintenance phases of illness. Lithium levels should be closely monitored due to its narrow therapeutic index. Combination of other treatment regimens with lithium may increase or decrease lithium levels that may cause intoxication symptoms or recurrence of mood episodes. Therefore, clinicians should be aware of the drugs recommended by other medical specialties that may change lithium plasma levels. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, thiazide diuretics, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors are the best known potential medicines for drug interactions with lithium. In this article, we aimed to present a case report of a patient who was taking lithium for recurrent depression more than 3 years with stable serum levels, but lithium levels decreased fastly after the prescription of ursodeoxycholic acid. The possible mechanism of interaction between lithium and ursodeoxycholic acid was discussed with the current literature.
