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

Personality disorders (PDs) are severe mental health conditions associated with significant distress and functional impairment. However, the epidemiology of personality disorders in non-Western populations is underrepresented. This meta-analysis aimed to estimate the prevalence of any personality disorder in both clinical and community samples in Turkiye. A systematic search was conducted in Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, TRDizin, and the Turkish Psychiatry Index. The meta-analysis was performed in RStudio following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A total of 49 articles, comprising 61 independent samples and 28,269 participants, were included. The pooled prevalence of any personality disorder across all samples was 26.06% (95% confidence interval (CI) [0.1870, 0.3507]). The pooled prevalence was 30.60% (95% CI [0.2049, 0.4301]) in clinical samples and 15.94% (95% CI [0.1063, 0.2322]) in community samples. The findings indicate that PDs are highly prevalent in both clinical and community settings. These results suggest that PDs represent a substantial public health concern and should not be considered solely within clinical populations.
