Borderline personality pathology and physical health: The role of employment.
Article in Personality disorders, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is associated with negative physical health outcomes. Clinical case studies suggest that employment status may buffer against the negative effects of BPD on physical health. The goal of the current study was to examine the interaction between BPD features and employment status in predicting subjective perceptions of physical health. We hypothesized that employment status would moderate the relationship between BPD features and physical health, such that individuals who are employed would exhibit a weaker negative relationship between BPD features and self- and informant ratings of physical health. We investigated this question using data from a community sample of 1,630 middle-aged to older adults participating in the St. Louis Personality and Aging Network, an ongoing study of personality, health, and aging. Results indicated that employment status and BPD features were significant predictors of both self- and informant ratings of physical health. Confirming our hypothesis, the interaction term contributed to a significant increase in the proportion of explained variance, suggesting that employment is associated with a weaker negative relationship between BPD features and physical health. These findings highlight the importance of examining occupational functioning in the long-term course of BPD and offer avenues for further research into moderators of the relationship between BPD features and physical health.
