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

objectivesDue to a longstanding focus on early to middle adulthood, research into the clinical needs of older adults with personality disorders remains limited. This study sought to further understandings into the potentially unique needs of this population.

methodsAnalyses compared comorbid psychiatric diagnoses, settings of utilized mental health treatment, and sociodemographic variables among older (aged 65+, n = 11,426) and younger (aged 18-35, n = 57,847) adults diagnosed with a personality disorder who received state-funded mental health care in the United States in 2022.

resultsOlder adults with personality disorder diagnoses were more likely to have comorbid psychotic and delirium/dementia disorder diagnoses, less likely to have comorbid trauma and stressor, anxiety, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder diagnoses, and less likely to experience homelessness than younger adults with personality disorder diagnoses.

conclusionsFindings highlight the importance of interventions to address co-occurring cognitive disorganization among older adults experiencing personality disorder pathology.
