Examining the Moderating Effect of Sex on the Association Between Asthma and Age of Onset in Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia.

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
backgroundAsthma, characterized by chronic inflammatory burden, may increase the risk of developing bipolar disorder (BD) and schizophrenia (SZ). Emerging evidence suggests that sex differences can further influence the presentation and course of these conditions.
objectiveTo investigate the impact of antecedent asthma diagnosis on the clinical trajectory and age at first episode of mania (FEM) or psychosis (FEP) in individuals and explore sex differences in these associations.
methodsWe identified patients with FEM or FEP within the Rochester Epidemiology Project. Patient demographics, psychiatric antecedents, and prior medical diagnoses were collected. Antecedent asthma diagnoses were extracted using International Classification of Diseases-10 codes via the Rochester Epidemiology Project records-linkage system.
resultsAmong 201 patients with FEM (n = 72) or FEP (n = 129), 50 (24.9%) had a prior diagnosis of asthma. There was no difference in asthma prevalence by diagnosis (24.8% BD vs. 25.0% SZ; P = 0.976) or sex (male 22.4% vs. female 31.5%, P = 0.189). Patients with asthma were more likely to have an antecedent psychiatric disorder prior to their first episode (P = 0.008), particularly depressive disorders (P = 0.006). A significant interaction effect was found between sex and asthma on age at first episode, with females with asthma experiencing a significantly earlier illness onset (F [1197] = 8.20, P = 0.006). These findings remained significant in sensitivity analyses excluding patients without at least one year of follow-up prior to the first episode.
conclusionsAntecedent asthma was prevalent in our cohort and associated with increased psychiatric illness burden and an earlier age of onset in females with BD or SZ. These findings highlight important comorbidity patterns to consider in the antecedent illness trajectory and the need for further research into the inflammatory and sex-specific mechanisms underlying serious mental illness.
