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
backgroundPersonality Disorders (PDs) are a critical public health issue frequently misdiagnosed and underdiagnosed in mental health services. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the reliability, validity and repeatability of the Spanish version of the Standardised Assessment of Personality - Abbreviated Scale (SAPAS), a short and self-administered scale for PD diagnosis and screening.
methodsThis longitudinal study was performed using a 107-patient sample who attended community mental health services and outpatient clinics. A Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve was utilized to determine concurrent validity by comparing the SAPAS with the International Personality Disorder Examination (IPDE), thus establishing sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value for several cut-off points. Repeatability was measured by calculating an Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) between an initial SAPAS administration and a second one carried out 30 days later.
resultsThe Area Under the Curve (AUC) was found to be 0.84. A cut-off point of 3 provided 90% sensitivity and 52% specificity and correctly classified 71% of the cases. The ICC for the two SAPAS measures was 0.88.
conclusionOur Spanish translation for the SAPAS proves to be a reliable, valid and consistent PD screening tool in mental health settings.
