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
backgroundOne of the populations at high risk for self-harm are soldiers. Specifically, this risk is even greater if they have borderline personality disorder. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which mentalization-based training is effective in reducing self-harm behavior, difficulties in emotion regulation, and mentalization in soldiers with borderline personality disorder. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study was a quasiexperimental study with a control group and pretest, post-test, and 2-month follow-up periods. This research was conducted in 2023-2024. Fifty soldiers with borderline personality disorder who self-harmed were selected as subjects using the convenience sampling method. One experimental group (25 people) and one control group (25 people) were randomly selected from the subjects. The control group was wait-listed, while the experimental group received six mentalization-based training sessions. Subjects completed questionnaires measuring self-harm (SHI), mentalizing (MZQ), and difficulties in emotion regulation (DERS). The data were analyzed in the descriptive section using mean, frequency, and standard deviation and in the inferential statistics section using repeated measures analysis of variance.
resultsThe results showed that mentalization-based training significantly improved self-harm behaviors, emotion regulation problems, and mentalization in soldiers with borderline personality disorder and a history of self-harm (
conclusionsTraining based on mentalizing appears to be an effective way to treat emotional issues and self-harming behaviors in soldiers with borderline personality disorder, given the role that mentalizing capacity plays in preventing these behaviors.
