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

objectivesBipolar and ADHD are two diseases that exhibit similar traits but at different levels of severity. Understanding this behavior can help treatment of these disorders.

methodWe hypothesize that there is a common partial genetic cause for both attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and bipolar disorders (BD), which is the reversal function of the dopamine neurotransporter DAT gate (see Figure 1) into an efflux mode. We analyze the dopamine chemistry in the neuron synapse under this assumption.

resultsThe difference between ADHD and BD phenotypes is due either to the dopamine receptor (D2R) operation or to the threshold levels of the dopamine homeostatic control and the intensity of its operation. SIGNIFICANCE: The common cause of the two disorders could explain the frequent phenomenon of ADHD symptoms preceding BD beginning and the high comorbidity between these disorders.
