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

aimWe conducted a 1-year retrospective mirror-image study to investigate the effect of aripiprazole once monthly (AOM) on rehospitalization for bipolar disorder.

methodsParticipants were recruited from psychiatric emergency and acute care hospitals in western Japan. We included 39 participants with bipolar disorder who had been administered AOM for at least 1 year with no missing medical records during the observational period. The primary outcomes were rehospitalization rate, number of rehospitalizations, total hospitalization days, and time to rehospitalization in the context of overall psychiatric readmissions. The significance level was set at p < 0.05.

resultsAOM significantly reduced the rehospitalization rate from 23/39 (59%) to 7/39 (18%) (p = 0.001). The number of rehospitalizations decreased significantly from a mean of 0.85 per person-year to 0.41 per person-year (p = 0.048). The total hospitalization days significantly decreased from a mean of 34.9 days to 14.4 days (p = 0.008). AOM significantly prolonged the time to rehospitalization (p < 0.001).

conclusionThis study found that AOM reduces overall psychiatric rehospitalization for bipolar disorder based on data from 1 year before and after AOM administration in the real-world setting. Future studies should examine the robustness and persistence of the rehospitalization preventive effect of AOM with larger sample sizes and longer observation periods beyond 1 year.
