Distribution of borderline personality disorder related impulsivity types in psychiatric clinical populations.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundImpulsivity is a core feature of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), yet its prevalence and variations across demographics and diagnoses in clinical populations are underexplored. This study aims to investigate the frequency and distribution of impulsive behaviors related to BPD among a large clinical sample, considering gender, age, and diagnostic categories.
methodsA total of 2862 participants were consecutively sampled from psychiatric and psycho-counseling clinics. BPD traits and symptoms were assessed using the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire 4th Edition Plus (PDQ-4plus), a concise and well-structured self-report questionnaire. Impulsive behaviors, including overspending, casual sex, excessive drinking, drug use, overeating, and reckless behavior, were evaluated based on item 106 of the PDQ-4plus.
resultsOverall frequencies show that 36.10% engaged in overspending, 10.30% in casual sex, 20.00% in excessive drinking, 7.30% in using drugs, 38.70% in overeating, and 15.60% in reckless behavior. Significant gender differences were observed, with men reporting higher rates of casual sex (χ² = 13.868, p < 0.001) and excessive drinking (χ² = 35.331, p < 0.001), while women reported higher rates of overeating (χ² = 27.320, p < 0.001). Age analysis revealed that younger adults exhibited higher impulsivity, particularly in overspending and reckless behavior. Diagnostic analysis showed that psychotic and mood disorders were associated with higher rates of overspending and overeating.
conclusionsThe study underscores the importance of considering demographic and diagnostic variations when addressing impulsive behaviors in BPD. These findings can inform the development of targeted interventions. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
