Disability and social cognition in euthymic patients with bipolar disorder.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 2025. 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
backgroundCognitive performance is known to influence the functional level of psychiatric disorders in both the short and long term. This study aims to examine disability, social cognition, and the clinical and sociodemographic variables affecting both in individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder (BD) during the euthymic phase.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 62 euthymic patients diagnosed with BD who attended the Mood Disorders Outpatient Clinic of the Psychiatry Department and agreed to participate. Data collection involved a sociodemographic information form, the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET) and the Basic Empathy Scale (BES) to assess social cognition, and the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS-2) to evaluate disability.
resultsA significant positive correlation was identified between RMET scores and educational level (r = 0.320, p < 0.05). Regression analysis revealed that age (β=-0.284; p = 0.025) and social support(β=-0.310; p = 0.008) had a significant negative impact on WHODAS-2 total scores, whereas having a first episode of depression compared to a first episode of mania had a significant positive impact on WHODAS-2 total scores (β = 0.281; p = 0.025).
conclusionThe findings suggest that the onset of BD with a depressive episode and the lack of social support may be associated with disability even in the euthymic phase. The significant negative association between age and disability implies that increased awareness through psychoeducation and the development of appropriate coping strategies may contribute to reduced disability in later life. These results highlight the importance of early intervention and supportive factors in the management of BD.
