Evaluation of GABAergic and Glutamatergic Levels in the Dorsal Anterior Cingulate Cortex of Patients With Bipolar Disorder: A Cross-Sectional
Article in Neuropsychopharmacology reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundImbalances between excitatory and inhibitory (E/I) neurotransmitters in the brain may contribute to the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder (BD). Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study using
resultsNo significant differences in dACC GABA levels, Glx levels, or Glx/GABA ratio were observed between the BD and HC groups. There were no significant differences within the BD group based on BD subtype (I or II) or clinical phase (depression or euthymic). Patients with lithium treatment had higher GABA levels compared to those without. DISCUSSION: Our results suggest that GABAergic function in the dACC may not play a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of BD. Given possible GABAergic dysregulation in BD, further research using alternative methodologies is warranted to elucidate the pathological basis.
