Open accessAbstract
We wish to respond to the points raised by Jauhar and colleagues in their Personal View published online on February 4, 2016. 1 Jauhar S McKenna PJ Laws KR NICE guidance on psychological treatments for bipolar disorder: searching for the evidence. Lancet Psychiatry. 2016; (published online Feb 4.)http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S2215-0366(15)00545-3 Google Scholar We will outline how the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guideline on bipolar disorder 2 National Collaborating Centre for Mental HealthBipolar disorder: the assessment and management of bipolar disorder in adults, children and young people in primary and secondary care, updated edition. Clinical guideline 185. [Full guideline]. The British Psychological Society and the Royal College of Psychiatrists, London2014 Google Scholar was developed, using the process established by the NICE. Notably, this process is different to the development of a Cochrane meta-analysis and, indeed, many other guidelines. We also address six specific points raised by Jauhar and colleagues. 1 Jauhar S McKenna PJ Laws KR NICE guidance on psychological treatments for bipolar disorder: searching for the evidence. Lancet Psychiatry. 2016; (published online Feb 4.)http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S2215-0366(15)00545-3 Google Scholar Psychosocial treatments in bipolar disorderWe read with interest the Comment by Tim Kendall and colleagues, in response to our Personal View on NICE guidance on psychosocial treatments in bipolar disorder.1 We feel that this Comment raises more questions than it answers. Two issues seem particularly important. Full-Text PDF

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
