Safety of treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder in pregnancy and puerperium.
Article in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
questionMy patient is 3 weeks postpartum and has experienced repetitive checking and washing of her newborn as a result of obsessive concerns with the newborn's safety. Should I refer her for a psychiatric assessment to rule out obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) or should I reassure her that her behaviour is normal? ANSWER: Current data suggest that pregnancy and the postpartum period are times of high risk of OCD onset and exacerbation. The presenting symptoms of OCD overlap with normal concerns and behaviour during the perinatal period; however, an undiagnosed or untreated disorder could have adverse consequences for both the mother and her newborn. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that this patient undergo screening and psychiatric assessment in order to be appropriately managed.
