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
backgroundThis review examined the prevalence rate of alcohol use disorders (AUDs)-including heavy episodic drinking, heavy drinking, alcohol abuse, and alcohol dependence-among individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD).
objectivesThe primary objective of this meta-analysis and meta-regression study was to investigate the prevalence AUDs associated with BPD. DESIGN AND
settingWe searched PubMed, Google Scholar, Virtual Health Library (VHL/BVS), SciELO, LILACS, EMBASE, and PsycINFO for studies, reports, or abstracts published without language restrictions.
methodsWe searched for reports published from database inception through March 2024. This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and Meta-analysis Of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines (MOOSE). Based on the extracted data, we performed meta-analyses and meta-regressions.
resultsThe final sample included 15 articles with 15,603 individuals aged 18 years or older with BPD. The prevalence of AUDs with BPD was 55.28%, while the prevalence of alcohol dependence (AD) was 44.59%, and alcohol abuse (AA) was 18.84%.
conclusionOur findings indicate a high prevalence of AUDs among individuals with BPD, underscoring the need for targeted prevention and treatment strategies. Integrated dual-diagnosis approaches addressing both disorders simultaneously are crucial for improving outcomes. This high prevalence has important implications for public health.
