Retrospective case study: ketogenic metabolic therapy in the effective management of treatment-resistant depressive symptoms in bipolar disorder.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
This retrospective case study assessed Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy's (KMT) efficacy in a bipolar disorder patient with treatment-resistant depressive symptoms insufficiently controlled by weekly ketamine treatments. Monitoring included relevant biomarkers of ketone production and macronutrient levels, alongside mood evaluations through the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS), and PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), showing mood stabilization and improved functionality. Qualitative analysis revealed sub-stantial enhancements in functioning, life quality, and mental well-being. This study enriches the metabolic psychiatry literature, emphasizing KMT's potential benefits by integrating quantitative data from recognized psychiatric assessment tools and qualitative insights.
