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

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a leading cause of disability and is linked to cognitive and functional impairment, increased mortality from cardiometabolic disorders and bipolar disorder suicide. Few studies in sub-Saharan Africa have explored cognitive dysfunction in bipolar disorder. Our study explores the cognitive characteristics in a bipolar patient cohort in Nigeria and assesses its association with clinical and demographic variables. 40 participants from the Bipolar Disorder Longitudinal Study, at baseline, were included in the pilot study of the BiDiLos-Ng. Using a cross-sectional design, cognitive function was assessed using the Screen for Cognitive Impairment in Psychiatry. Multiple linear regression models were used to explore associations between dependent and independent variables. Cognitive impairment was present in 41% of the bipolar cohort, it was not associated with the frequency of mood episodes, and higher educational level was associated with higher verbal fluency test scores (
