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

purpose of the reviewThe purpose of this review is to report on prevalence of co-occurrence, possible etiologic mechanisms, and course and treatment implications of each of these challenging clinical disorders (Autism Spectrum Disorder, Eating Disorders, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder) comorbid with Personality Disorders. RECENT

findingsThese comorbidities often increase the symptom severity, worsen the course and outcome, and increase the risk of self-harm and suicidal behavior. For EDs and PTSD, existing therapies may prove somewhat helpful but novel approaches are needed and under investigation in the context of comorbid PDs and ASD, EDs and PTSD to address common underlying diatheses. Treatments for these comorbid disorders need to incorporate interventions addressing suicide risk, emotion dysregulation, be trauma-informed and attend to patient engagement. Future research should prioritize studying the course and outcome of ASD comorbid with PDs, novel therapies for EDs comorbid with PDs; refining the concept of Complex PTSD and commencing study of SSD comorbid with PDs.
