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

Background: Traumatic childhood experiences are associated with an increased risk of substance abuse. It remains unclear to what extent this association is mediated by personality organization and mentalization ability across different populations. Method: A structural equation model (SEM) with bootstrap estimates was calculated in a community sample ( Results: In the community sample, structural personality impairments partially mediated the effect of childhood trauma on addictive behavior (indirect: Conclusion: These findings highlight the central role of structural personality impairments in the association between childhood trauma and addictive behavior. While structural deficits act as a partial mediator in the general population, they emerge as the strongest and most consistent correlate of addictive behavior in clinical SUD model.
