[Digital applications in the treatment of adolescent patients with borderline personality disorder].
Review in Der Nervenarzt, 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
backgroundBorderline personality disorder (BPD) is often manifested during adolescence and is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Early disorder-specific treatment is considered state of the art but is hampered by discontinuities at the transition to adult services and limited resources. Digital technologies play an increasing key role in adolescents' daily lives.
objectivePresentation of key characteristics of adolescent BPD and psychiatric transition-focused care concepts, an overview of digital applications in BPD treatment and the possibilities and challenges in the clinical practice.
methodsNarrative review article based on selected literature on the prevalence, treatment and digital interventions in adolescent BPD, complemented by two clinical examples: a secure emergency chat for suicidal youths in Bern and digital routine outcome monitoring (ROM) in the Adolescent Center for Emotion Regulation in Mannheim.
resultsMeta-analyses show heterogeneous, predominantly small effects of digital interventions on mental health outcomes in children and adolescents; health economic data are limited. For BPD the findings suggest effectiveness for specific symptoms (e.g., suicidal ideation, paranoia) and high acceptance although adherence is variable. Telemedicine and ROM can improve the continuity of care and crisis management when embedded in structured services.
conclusionDigital applications are promising components of blended care and transition-focused programs. They should complement face-to-face therapy and require careful attention to data protection, financing and technical reliability. Stepped-care approaches tailoring digital and personal contact to individual needs appear useful.
