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

backgroundBorderline Personality Disorder (BPD) may include rigid thoughts, interpersonal difficulties, unstable identity, and the presentation of intense and volatile emotions; the leading indicator for this condition is symptom severity (SS). Within this spectrum, there could be subjective cognitive complaints (SCC) that may worsen the severity of the clinical condition. The present study aimed to compare SCC scores between BPD participants and a group of control subjects (CS) and to determine the association between BPD symptom severity and SCC in participants with BPD.

methods102 participants with BPD and 73 CS participants from Ramon de la Fuente Muñiz National Institute of Psychiaty were included. In order to measure symptom severity, participants responded to the Borderline Evaluation of Severity Over Time (BEST) scale, and for SCC through the Cognitive Complaints in Bipolar Disorder Rating Assessment (COBRA) scale.

resultsCOBRA total scores were higher in participants with BPD (26.9 ± 9.3) compared to CS (12.9 ± 6.8; t = -10.8, p < 0.001). Positive correlations resulted between the COBRA total score and the BEST dimensions of thoughts and feelings (r = 0.38, p < 0.001), Negative behaviors (r = 0.30, p < 0.002), and the Total BEST score (r = 0.38, p < 0.001).

conclusionParticipants of this study experience high levels of SS, which includes the constant presence of harmful and intrusive thoughts and feelings, as well as dysfunctional behaviors. This clinical context correlates positively with a high report of SCC, thus highlighting the importance of evaluating SCC as a relevant factor of patients' clinical experience and considering it within their personal needs to improve the course and prognosis throughout their treatment.
