The role of impulsivity and emotion regulation difficulties in nonsuicidal self-injury and borderline personality disorder symptoms among young adults.

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
Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) and borderline personality disorder (BPD) are serious mental health problems that may have common developmental pathways. Adverse childhood environments coupled with trait impulsivity and emotion dysregulation purportedly increase the risk of NSSI and BPD. The primary aim of this study was to examine the association of these risk factors with NSSI and BPD over a 1-year period among young adults (N = 229; aged 18-35; 75.5% female). Participants completed measures of relevant variables at baseline and every 3 months over 12 months. Hypotheses were that emotion regulation difficulties would mediate the association of childhood maltreatment with NSSI and BPD and that impulsivity would moderate the association of childhood maltreatment with ERD. Findings from multilevel modelling analyses indicated that emotion regulation difficulties mediated the association of childhood maltreatment with both NSSI and BPD. Contrary to hypotheses, impulsivity did not moderate the association of childhood maltreatment with emotion regulation difficulties. These findings highlight the importance of emotion regulation difficulties in NSSI and BPD among young adults.
