Prevalence and correlates of social dysfunction in community-dwelling patients with bipolar disorder: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 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
backgroundSocial dysfunction is common among patients with bipolar disorder (BD) even during remission, underscoring the need to shift toward function-oriented treatment models. This study aimed to quantify the prevalence of social dysfunction in community-dwelling patients with BD and identify multidimensional biopsychosocial influencing factors.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among 7,952 community-dwelling BD patients in Hangzhou. Social functioning was assessed using the Social Disability Screening Schedule (SDSS), with a score [Formula: see text] indicating dysfunction. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to examine demographic, clinical, and psychosocial correlates.
resultsThe prevalence of social dysfunction among community-dwelling patients with BD was 66.4%. Multivariable analysis identified several independent factors associated with this dysfunction, including divorced status (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] = 1.76, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 1.23–2.54), higher overall psychopathological severity (Clinician-Rated Dimensions of Psychosis Symptom Severity [CRDPSS] total score; AOR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.48–1.66),sleep insufficiency (AOR = 1.79, 95% CI: 1.53–2.10), insufficient dietary status(AOR = 2.00, 95% CI: 1.45–2.81),family history of psychiatric disorders (AOR = 1.38, 95% CI: 1.02–1.88),comorbid physical illnesses (AOR = 1.22, 95% CI: 1.09–1.37),adverse drug reactions (AOR = 1.44, 95% CI: 1.20–1.74),psychiatric follow-up (AOR = 1.36,95% CI:1.17–1.59) and illness stigma (AOR = 1.17, 95% CI:1.03–1.32).Additionally, several factors were associated with decreased odds of social dysfunction,including younger age (18–34 years vs.[Formula: see text] years, AOR = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.58–0.97), being married (AOR = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.32–0.50), retired status (AOR = 0.62, 95% CI: 0.54–0.71), and high life satisfaction (AOR = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.24–0.67).
conclusionSocial dysfunction is highly prevalent among community BD patients. Functional recovery efforts should focus on optimizing pharmacotherapy (to minimize side effects), targeting biological rhythms (sleep and nutrition), enhancing marital and psychosocial support, and improving life satisfaction.
