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

The primary aim of this study was to examine the personality profile of adults with Specific Learning Disorders (SLDs) using the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) to assess maladaptive traits and explore the underlying network structure of these traits in comparison to healthy individuals. The sample included 181 adults with SLDs (mean age = 27.37 ± 6.82; 39.21% female) and 227 healthy adults (mean age = 30.08 ± 7.49; 35.36% female). All participants completed the PID-5 and a socio-demographic checklist. Group differences in PID-5 scores were analyzed using independent-sample t-tests. Network analysis, including the Network Comparison Test (NCT) and centrality assessments, was conducted to examine overall network organization and identify key traits within the maladaptive trait networks. The results showed that adults with SLDs had significantly higher scores in detachment (43.99 ± 22.70 vs. 32.27 ± 17.53, p < 0.05) and negative affectivity (111.97 ± 35.06 vs. 87.26 ± 40.58, p < 0.05) compared to healthy controls. Their personality trait network was more densely connected, with a global strength of 44.95, compared to 36.22 in the control group (p < 0.01). Key traits in the SLD network included suspiciousness (betweenness = 2.116, closeness = 2.286, strength = 1.266), anhedonia (betweenness = 2.240), and eccentricity (strength = 2.146, betweenness = 1.498), indicating stronger interactions among maladaptive traits. A particularly strong connection (edge weight = 0.4059) was observed between withdrawal and anhedonia. In contrast, the control group's network was more balanced, with the most dominant node (N5) exhibiting a strength of 2.1859 and betweenness of 3.5000. These findings highlight distinct personality patterns in individuals with SLDs, underscoring the need for tailored clinical interventions.
