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

backgroundWe aimed to investigate the extent of cognitive impairments in early-onset bipolar disorder (EBD) during manic episode in comparison to remission period.

method30 healthy controls (HC) and 95 patients with EBD, with manic episode (n = 55) and remission period (n = 40) were included. Additionally, 31 (%56.4) of 55 patients with manic episode were re-evaluated during remission. A comprehensive cognitive battery was implemented to asses verbal and visual learning/memory, attention, inhibition, problem-solving, working memory, processing speed, and verbal fluency skills and global cognitive factor was calculated to estimate overall cognitive ability. Theory of mind (ToM) was evaluated using the Reading the Mind in the Eyes and Faux-Pas tests.

findingsIndividuals in patient groups and HC were matched for gender and education. Patients in remission had a significantly older mean age than the other groups. Antipsychotic dosage was also higher in cases with mania. Patients with manic episode had moderate impairments in processing speed (Cohen's d: 0.51-0.78), attention (d: 0.57), inhibition (d: 0.56-0.63) and global cognitive function (d: 0.54) compared to patients in remission period. Individuals in remission period had poorer performance in verbal memory (d: 1.03-1.32), working memory (d: 0.88-1.13), ToM (d: 0.60-0.87), processing speed (d: 1.21-1.27), problem solving (d: 0.56-0.67), attention (d: 0.58), inhibition (d: 0.89-1.00) and visual memory (d: 1.28-1.37) in comparison with HC.

conclusionOur findings indicated that impairments in social cognition, processing speed, inhibition, and attention were more prominent in the manic episode. Future studies should focus on pharmaco- and psychotherapeutic interventions aimed to treat neurocognitive impairments.
