Association of circulating monocyte number and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio with cardiovascular disease in patients with bipolar disorder.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundCardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of excessive and premature mortality in patients with bipolar disorder (BD). Despite immune cells participating considerably in the pathogenesis of CVD, limited data are available regarding leukocyte phenotypes in patients with BD and CVD. This study aimed to evaluate associations between circulating leukocyte subset and CVD among patients with BD.
methodsA total of 109 patients with BD-I and cardiologist-confirmed CVD diagnosis (i.e., case) were matched with 109 BD-I patients without CVD (i.e., control) according to the age (± 2 years), sex, and date of most recent psychiatric admission because of acute mood episode (± 2 years). Leukocyte subset data were retrieved from complete blood count tests performed on the next morning after the most recent acute psychiatric admission.
resultsDuring the most recent acute psychiatric hospitalization, circulating monocyte counts in the case group were significantly higher than those in the age- and sex-matched controls (p = 0.020). In addition, monocyte-lymphocyte ratios (MLRs) in the case group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p = 0.032). Multiple logistic regression showed that together with serum levels of uric acid and manic symptoms, circulating monocyte counts (95% CI, OR: 1.01-1.05) and MLRs (95% CI, OR: 1.01-1.09) were significantly associated with CVD in patients with BD, respectively.
conclusionsMonocyte activation in an acute manic episode may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of CVD among patients with BD. Future research is required to investigate markers of monocyte activation and indices of cardiovascular structure and function across the different mood states of BD.
