Neural Changes in Borderline Personality Disorder After Dialectical Behavior Therapy-A Review.
Review in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
The biological component of the biosocial theory of emotion regulation stipulates that borderline personality disorder (BPD) arises from biological vulnerabilities to heightened emotional reactivity. Comprehensive reviews have consistently implicated abnormalities in the amygdala, anterior cingulate cortex, and hippocampus in the neurobiology of BPD. While Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is the leading evidence-based psychotherapy for the treatment of BPD, there remains a paucity of literature examining changes in the neurobiology of BPD following DBT treatment. Nine studies were identified that examined neurobiological changes in BPD after the completion of DBT. Results indicated that there was significant deactivation of amygdala activity as well as the anterior cingulate cortex in patients with BPD after DBT treatment. As well, several studies found after DBT treatment, BPD patients had a decreased activity in the inferior frontal gyrus in response to arousing stimuli and increased activity in response to inhibitory control. Future research on the neurobiological change after DBT treatment can help clarify biological mechanisms of change in BPD.
