Family accommodation in obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Review in Expert review of neurotherapeutics, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04453865 (Empowering Anxious Parents to Manage Child Avoidance Behaviors), which is not on this map. Cited by 83 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Family accommodation refers to ways in which family members take part in the performance of rituals, avoidance of anxiety-provoking situations or modification of daily routines to assist a relative with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Our goal is to review the available data on the role of family accommodation in both children and adults with OCD. A search of available peer-reviewed English language papers was conducted through PubMed and PsycINFO cross-referencing the keyword OCD with accommodation, family relations and parents. The resulting 641 papers were individually evaluated for relevance to the scope of the review. It was found that accommodation is common in OCD and is strongly and consistently correlated with OCD symptom severity. Family accommodation also appears to be increased when the proband has cleaning contamination symptoms and increased internalizing or externalizing problems. Family accommodation is associated with increased parental OCD and anxiety symptoms. Levels of accommodation are associated with treatment outcomes for both behavioral and pharmacological treatment. Significant improvement of OCD symptoms with treatment is associated with reductions in family accommodation. Family accommodation represents important clinical data that is worth measuring, monitoring and tracking in clinical care. Therapies targeting family accommodation may be successful in improving treatment outcomes in OCD.
