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

backgroundWomen with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are also often diagnosed with personality disorders, yet research on reliable and valid assessments of personality pathology in this population has been limited.

methodsIn this study, the psychometric properties of the Level of Personality Functioning Scale- Brief Form - 2.0 (LPFS-BF 2.0) were examined in a sample of 171 adult women with ADHD.

resultsA two-factor structure was identified, with one factor, LPF-self, comprised of six items, reflecting impairment in self functioning; the second factor, LPF-interpersonal, comprised of six items, reflecting impairment in interpersonal functioning. LPFS-BF 2.0 factors contributed unique variance to functional impairment beyond the effects of co-occurring depression, anxiety, and ADHD.

conclusionsThese findings suggest the LPFS-BF 2.0 may be important to include in clinical care for women with ADHD, to identify those women with ADHD who may require adjunctive intervention for personality pathology.
