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
Objective: This study aims to explore the risk factors and protective factors associated with violence in patients with mood disorders and to identify the differences in these risk factors between clinical subtypes: bipolar disorder (BD) and major depressive disorder (MDD). Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional investigation was conducted from February 2021 to March 2024. Participants were consecutively sampled from the geriatric psychiatric ward of a tertiary psychiatric hospital. The general information questionnaire, Brøset Violence Checklist (BVC), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), and Functional Activity Questionnaire (FAQ) were used to evaluate the risk of violence, depressive syndromes, and activities of daily living of the participants. Results: Among the 141 elderly patients with mood disorders, 40 (28.4%) were diagnosed with bipolar disorder and 101 (71.6%) with major depressive disorder. The sample included 34.8% males and 65.2% females, with an average age of 67.42 ± 6.91 years. Regarding educational attainment, 12.1% had completed a bachelor's degree or higher, 22.7% had completed senior school or an associate degree, and the majority (65.2%) had received education at the junior high school level or below. Unhealthy lifestyles, such as smoking and alcohol use, were relatively uncommon, with 7.1% smoking and 5% consuming alcohol. Univariate analysis of elderly patients with mood disorders revealed that gender, smoking status, first admission, type of admission, length of hospitalization, and restraint condition were significantly related to the risk of violence ( Conclusion: Patients with mood disorders have a potential risk of violence, and the clinical factors influencing this risk differ between clinical subtypes. Therefore, given these distinct risk profiles across subtypes, precise risk assessment and early intervention are necessary to mitigate the risk of violence in these patients.
