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

Introduction: Numerous hypotheses have been proposed for the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder (BD). This study aimed to evaluate serum neuroserpin (NSP), tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), interleukin-6 (IL-6), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and sedimentation levels in patients with BD, based on the inflammatory and fibrinolytic system hypothesis, to understand the etiopathogenesis of BD. The second aim of our study was to determine the risk of developing BD type 1 by examining the relationship between tPA and NSP in patients diagnosed with BD type 1. Methods: The study included 80 euthymic outpatients with BD type 1 and 80 healthy controls (HC). Individuals with a Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) score of less than 7 and a Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) score of less than 4 who did not show any symptoms of mania, depression, or hypomania for the last 6 months were included in the study. In both groups, serum levels of NSP, tPA, IL-6, BDNF, hsCRP, and sedimentation were measured. Results: Compared to the healthy control group, the NSP and tPA levels were lower in the BD group (p<0.001). We found no linear relationship when we analyzed the relationship between tPA and NSP by excluding other variables. (p: 0.027). Conclusion: These findings suggest that tPA and NSP may serve as potential biomarkers for the euthymic period of BD type 1. These biomarkers may provide guidance in understanding the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder.
