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
objectiveThe diagnostic efficiency of screening instruments for adolescents with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)-that are applicable to its new classification in DSM-5 and ICD-11-has not yet been sufficiently studied.
methodsWe examined the reliability and diagnostic efficiency of the juvenile version of the Impulsivity and Emotion Dysregulation Scale (IES-27-J) in a German-speaking sample of inpatient 12-19-year-old adolescents (N = 220, including n = 88 with BPD and n = 132 with other mental disorders). Using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, optimal cutoff values were determined for this self-report instrument. Analyses were conducted for two different diagnostic thresholds with at least four and five BPD diagnostic criteria, respectively, in accordance with the semi-structured clinical interview International Personality Disorder Examination (IPDE).
resultsResults indicate that the IES-27-J is a reliable and valid instrument with moderate to high discriminative ability (areas under the curve [AUC] = 0.77 and 0.80, respectively). Using the preferred cutoff values, sensitivity (71% and 83%) and specificity (76% and 67%) turned out to be moderate.
conclusionThe application of the IES-27-J can be considered favorable in a two-stage approach, using a lower cutoff value in a first step to miss fewer patients with BPD, and conducting a clinical interview in a second step to confirm the diagnosis. More studies in different settings, including direct comparisons with other screening instruments, are necessary to further assess the clinical utility of the IES-27-J.
