Association of pediatric bipolar disorder and substance use disorder in adulthood in a prospective cohort.
Article in Journal of affective disorders, 2026. 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
backgroundPatients with pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD) have high risk of adolescent substance use disorders (SUD). Less is known about the risk of SUD into adulthood. This study analyzed the longitudinal associations between pediatric onset bipolar disorder and SUD from adolescence to adulthood.
methodsPsychopathology was assessed prospectively in controls (HC) (N = 53), participants with ADHD (N = 33), and participants with PBD (N = 110) at up to 12 waves (ranging from 6-month to 2-year intervals), and at 25-year follow-up(HC = 39, ADHD = 18, PBD = 53). Logistic regressions were used to assess the effect of PBD on risk for SUD in adulthood.
resultsParticipants with PBD (mean age 22.58) had 6.53 (CI 2.15-19.83, p < 0.001) times the odds of having adult SUD during the 12-year follow-up compared to HC (mean age 22.46) participants and 2.9 (CI 1.05-8.02, p = 0.040) times the odds than those with ADHD without PBD (mean age 21.59). At 25-year follow-up, PBD diagnosis was positively associated with having SUD in adulthood compared to the HC group (OR 6.42, p < 0.001), but was not different than the ADHD group (mean age PBD = 35.49, ADHD = 34.68, HC = 35.29). Number of life events mediated the relationship between PBD and SUD in adulthood.
conclusionPBD is strongly associated with increased odds of SUD in early adulthood when compared to participants with ADHD and HC, though the differences between those with PBD and ADHD may not persist over time. Understanding the increased odds of SUDs in those with PBD provides an opportunity for intervention and for decreasing morbidity related to PBD.
