Interoception and borderline personality disorder in female adolescents with restrictive eating disorders.

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
purposeInteroception has been reported to be impaired in patients with restrictive eating disorders (REDs), while its role in patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) is more controversial. We set out to conduct a clinical study to explore the relationship between interoception, eating disorders, and BPD.
methodsWe recruited a sample of 75 female adolescents affected by REDs, of whom 21 received a diagnosis of comorbid BPD. In addition to collecting demographic and clinical data, we administered measures of interoceptive awareness (MAIA-2), the scale for eating symptomatology (EDI-3), and alexithymia (TAS-20) to all patients.
resultsPatients with REDs and comorbid BPD reported lower scores on the MAIA-2 Not-Distracting (p = 0.046) and Trusting (p = 0.023) subscales, reflecting decreased focus and reliance on bodily sensations of pain or discomfort compared to patients with REDs only. Lower scores on the MAIA-2 Trusting subscale were associated with higher scores on all EDI-3 subscales and on the total TAS-20 scale (p = 0.005), whereas lower scores on the MAIA-2 Not-Worrying subscale were associated with higher scores on the EDI-3 Interpersonal Problems composite subscale (p = 0.049), and higher scores on the MAIA-2 Noticing subscale were associated with higher scores on the EDI-3 Affective Problems composite subscale (p = 0.003).
conclusionsInteroceptive dysfunction appears to be a key vulnerability factor for eating disorder psychopathology in female adolescents with REDs, with comorbid BPD potentially further exacerbating these impairments. Targeting interoceptive processes may represent a promising therapeutic approach to improve emotion regulation and clinical outcomes, particularly in patients with co-occurring BPD, and warrants further investigation in this clinical population.
