Management of Lithium in Pregnancy and Lactation: An Individualized Approach.
Review in Current psychiatry reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purpose of reviewBipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic illness that affects around 4% of the population, impacting women throughout their reproductive years. Times of hormonal change, such as peripartum, can be a particularly vulnerable period for individuals. There is a high risk of mood episodes during this time, and pharmacotherapy remains the primary treatment for individuals with BD. For many patients and clinicians, fears and misunderstandings around the use of lithium in pregnancy and lactation result in discontinuation of treatment or undertreatment. This review examines the data on lithium use in pregnancy and lactation, and focuses on optimizing management with an individualized approach. RECENT
findingsLithium is a reasonable treatment option throughout peripartum including during lactation, although dose adjustments and additional monitoring may be necessary. Patients with mood disorders who achieve stability on lithium and are planning for pregnancy can continue lithium and maintain emotional wellness, with an individualized approach to dosing and monitoring.
