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
Background: Personality disorders (PDs) are estimated to occur in 6.8% of South Africans and in 45% to 80% of clinical populations. Mental health practitioners often harbour negative attitudes and lack confidence in working with such patients. Brief training in transference focused psychotherapy (TFP) has been shown to improve attitudes and confidence in the management of clinical encounters with PD. Aim: This study aimed to describe the characteristics of attendees at a brief TFP training workshop and determine the impact of training on attitudes and clinical confidence towards patients with PD. Setting: We conducted two 3 h online workshops, spaced 1 week apart to staff at South African University training hospitals. Methods: At baseline, participants ( Results: In the completer sample ( Conclusion: Brief training in TFP can lead to significant improvements in attitude and confidence in managing patients with PD. Contribution: This is the first study in the South African context demonstrating the potential value of brief teaching in TFP.
