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
backgroundBorderline personality disorder (BPD) is highly correlated with other mental disorders and poses significant psychological and social risks both to individuals and to society. This study aims to investigate the relationship between attachment, perceived rejection, and psychological security with BPD.
methodsThis cross-sectional correlational study was conducted on 89 BPD patients. The BPD patients was selected using a convenience sampling method. The instruments used in this study included the demographic characteristics form, the Rejection Sensitivity Perception Scale (RSPS), the Revised Adult Attachment Scale (RAAS), the Maslow's Psychological Security scale and the Borderline Personality Inventory (BPI). Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22, employing Pearson correlation and regression analysis methods.
resultsThe mean scores of BPI were 25.59 ± 5.19. The mean scores for perceived rejection and attachment were 7.71 ± 3.52 and 35.76 ± 6.64, respectively. We found a positive significant correlation between perceived rejection (r = 0.35, p = 0.001), attachment (r = 0.25, p = 0.017) and psychological and social security (r = 0.55, p < 0.001) with BPI. The results of multivariate linear regression indicated that psychological and social security, perceived rejection, and gender predicted 40% of the variance in BPD (R² = 40%) (p < 0.05).
conclusionsIn the present study, attachment, rejection, and sense of security were found to be associated with BPD. To prevent BPD, it is essential to consider factors such as attachment, rejection, and security. Therefore, mental health care providers are advised to plan and implement appropriate interventions to identify and improve these variables, thereby enhancing related health outcomes.
