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

Background: Individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) experience considerable difficulty in functioning during remission as well. The actual lived experience of individuals with BD with respect to their functioning is not understood in the cultural context. Methods: A qualitative approach in the form of interviews was taken from 11 participants who were diagnosed with BD in remission from a tertiary care hospital. The interviews were audio recorded and coded. Thematic analysis was carried out using a grounded theory approach to bring out relevant themes surrounding their inter-episodic functional limitations. Results: The thematic analysis resulted in nine themes associated with the functioning, namely illness issues, treatment as an antidote, impact on self, relationship issues, coping strategies, disturbed cognitive functioning, stigma, occupational consequences, and dubious future. Conclusions: The qualitative interview analysis provides a comprehensive picture of the experiences undergone by patients with BD. The themes and the sub-themes that came up in the analysis are reflective of the experiences of these individuals. The findings of the study can be utilized in planning effective interventions for remitted patients in the future so that functional limitations can be effectively addressed.
