Personality disorders in idiopathic generalized epilepsies in adults.

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
introductionAdults with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) exhibit higher rates of psychiatric symptoms and poorer social outcomes. Here, we studied the inter-relationships of epilepsy, psychiatric diagnoses/symptoms, and social outcomes to understand their psychosocial challenges. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study consisted of a cross-sectional cohort study on IGE patients identified at the Epilepsy Clinic at the Odense University Hospital and a case-control study using Danish registers. In the cross-sectional study, patients answered validated screening tools for personality disorder (PD), depression, anxiety, impulsivity, and questions on epilepsy and social status. In the case-control study, we identified IGE patients and age-, sex- and geography-matched normal population controls (1:10) in the Danish National Patient Registry using ICD-10 codes. Markers of social status and health care use were compared according to co-incident PD diagnoses.
resultsIn the cohort study (n = 286), IGE patients with ≥ 2 seizure types reported increased PD symptoms; reported PD symptoms were the strongest independent predictor of adverse social outcomes and other psychiatric symptoms. The complementary register-based case-control study comprised 7.879 IGE patients and 78.790 matched controls. A registered IGE diagnosis was associated with a 2.4 × increased risk of being diagnosed with PD (4.8% IGE patients vs. 2.0% controls). The pattern of PD diagnoses differed between IGE and controls, with IGE patients having significantly more borderline PD and fewer obsessive-compulsive or avoidant PD diagnoses. A PD diagnosis in IGE patients (n = 376) was associated with lower family income, more epilepsy-related hospital visits, and more additional psychiatric diagnoses. Comparing PD patients with and without IGE revealed lower employment rates and an even larger additional psychiatric disease burden in patients with both PD and IGE. The presence of a PD diagnosis was associated with a higher rate of legal violations in both IGE patients and controls.
conclusionsHigher rates of symptoms of PD may be a crucial and independent contributor to adverse social outcomes and psychiatric comorbidity in IGE patients.
