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

introductionThis cross-sectional descriptive study aims to examine the relationship between perceived social support, treatment adherence and recovery in individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The impact of social support elements, especially family, friend and special person support, on the treatment adherence and recovery are evaluated.

methods105 individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder participated in the study. Data were collected using the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale (MSPSS), Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS) and Recovery Assessment Scale (RAS). The obtained data were evaluated using the SPSS program.

resultsAnalysis showed a significant and positive relationship between perceived social support and recovery levels (p < 0.05). It was determined that family support, in particular, significantly increases treatment adherence and contributes positively to the recovery process. It was also determined that the RAS sub-dimensions of hope, help, success, trust and coping levels were in a strong relationship with social support. Moreover, perceived social support has consistently been identified as a significant predictor of recovery. DISCUSSION: Study findings reveal that social support is of critical importance in the treatment of bipolar disorder. In particular, strengthening family support can positively affect treatment adherence and the recovery process. These results emphasize that the effective use of social support systems should be considered a key element in treatment planning. By demonstrating this relationship, the study provides a valuable basis for future investigations that may further clarify how social support can be systematically leveraged to improve treatment effectiveness.
