Perceived ugliness: an update on treatment-relevant aspects of body dysmorphic disorder.
Review in Current psychiatry reports, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Despite increased awareness of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) during the past two decades, it is still a relatively unknown and understudied disorder. Its hallmark is a preoccupation with perceived defects or flaws in one's own appearance, often tied to the face (eg, nose, skin). BDD sufferers often think about their appearance "flaws" for up to several hours daily and frequently engage in ritualistic behaviors such as mirror checking, hair combing, comparing, asking for reassurance, makeup application, or skin picking. Furthermore, avoidance behaviors such as mirror avoidance or the avoidance of social activities are also common. In this paper, we provide an overview of BDD's unique symptomatology, its prevalence, and the comorbidities associated with it. A further aim is to provide an overview of effective treatments and possible obstacles and barriers to seeking or adhering to appropriate mental health care.
