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: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a severe form of psychopathology associated with a host of negative outcomes. Some literature suggests elevated prevalence among transgender and gender diverse (TGD) samples. Elevated BPD prevalence among TGD populations could be due to factors other than BPD-specific psychopathology. Studies of TGD samples typically omit assessment of BPD, making it difficult to understand elevated BPD diagnosis. The current study explored (1) differences in BPD diagnosis among TGD patients versus cisgender patients, (2) if differences were explained by BPD-specific pathology, and (3) if BPD diagnostic disparities existed based on assessment modality. Methods: Data from TGD ( Results: A larger proportion of TGD patients were diagnosed with BPD than cisgender patients (odds ratio [OR]=4.05, Conclusions: Clinical providers appear inclined to assign a BPD diagnosis to TGD patients that may not correspond with group differences in underlying personality pathology. That some BPD symptoms might be more likely in TGD samples, future research can examine criterion-level biases in BPD diagnosis among TGD individuals.
