Relationships between obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression and functioning before and after exposure and response prevention therapy.
Trial report in International journal of psychiatry in clinical practice, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 9 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
objectiveObsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is associated with impaired functioning and depression. Our aim was to examine relationships between OCD symptoms, depression and functioning before and after exposure and response prevention (ERP), a type of cognitive-behavioural therapy for OCD, specifically examining whether functioning, depression and other cognitive factors like rumination and worry acted as mediators.
methodsForty-four individuals with OCD were randomised to 4 weeks of intensive ERP treatment first (n = 23) or waitlist then treatment (n = 21). We used a bootstrapping method to examine mediation models.
resultsOCD symptoms, depression and functioning significantly improved from pre- to post-intervention. Functioning mediated the relationship between OCD symptoms and depression and the relationship between functioning and depression was stronger at post-treatment. Depression mediated the relationship between OCD symptoms and functioning, but only at post-intervention. Similarly, rumination mediated the relationship between OCD symptoms and depression at post-intervention.
conclusionsOur findings suggest that after ERP, relationships between depression and functioning become stronger. Following ERP, treatment that focuses on depression and functioning, including medication management for depression, cognitive approaches targeting rumination, and behavioural activation to boost functionality may be important clinical interventions for OCD patients.
