Prevalence of homosexual and bisexual orientation in patients with borderline personality disorder and associated factors - a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07639957 (What Role Does Gender Play in Relationship and Self Experiences of Individuals With Borderline Personality Disorder?), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.

Abstract
Introduction: This meta-analysis aimed to quantitatively evaluate the association between homosexual and bisexual orientation and borderline personality disorder (BPD), including factors contributing to the association and clinical outcomes of homosexual and bisexual patients with BPD. Methods: We systematically searched PUBMED, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE and Web of Science for cross-sectional or cohort studies comparing the prevalence of homosexual and bisexual orientation amongst patients with BPD and controls. Results: Our search identified 7 eligible studies, with a total sample case of 636 subjects with BPD and 535 subjects without BPD. Patients with BPD had a significantly higher likelihood of homosexual and bisexual orientation (Risk ratio [RR] 3.39, 95%CI 1.88-6.12) with a pooled prevalence of 28% (95% CI 0.24-0.31; I2 73%; 7 studies, 1171 participants). Subgroup analyses validated that BPD was independently associated with higher prevalence of both homosexual (RR 8.51, 95% CI 3.36-21.54) and bisexual orientation (RR 3.82, 95% CI 1.81-8.04), but no gender difference was yielded. Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) was associated with the development of homosexual and bisexual orientation in patients with BPD. Discussion: Poorer clinical outcomes, including physical and mental health, were associated with BPD status. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of sexual minority-specific treatment for these patients.
