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

In psychopathology, one of the most complex challenges is offered by the diagnostic comparison between patients with borderline personality disorder and those with bipolar spectrum disorder, as some of the symptoms characterizing the two disorders overlap. This detail can mislead therapists who are often called upon to diagnose these syndromes, and in some cases, there is a tendency to diagnose both as one is a personality disorder and the other is a mood disorder. This article provides the reader with a complete overview of these two disorders, highlighting some aspects that could redefine their clinical framework. This need could favor a reduction in cases of diagnostic error, also through the proposal of an innovative psychometric tool, Perrotta Border-Bipolar Profile Diagnostic Questionnaire, currently being validated.
