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

objectiveThe study examined clinical correlates of quality of life (QoL), impact of treatment on QoL, and predictors of QoL change among children with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

methodsOne hundred forty-two children with primary OCD who were enrolled as part of a larger clinical trial participated. Children were administered a structured diagnostic interview, as well as clinician-administered measures of OCD and depression symptom severity. Children and parents completed reports of QoL, as well as measures of impairment and internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Youth received 10 sessions of family-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).

resultsAt baseline, QoL was inversely related to obsessive-compulsive symptom severity, impairment, externalizing and internalizing symptoms, and severity of depression symptoms according to children and parents. After CBT, QoL improved according to parent ratings, but not child ratings. None of the predictors examined were associated with changes in QoL scores over time. Impairment, and externalizing and internalizing symptoms predicted QoL after accounting for OCD symptom severity. After accounting for OCD symptoms, externalizing symptoms inversely predicted changes in QoL.

conclusionThese data suggest that QoL is related to more severe clinical presentation and improves with evidence-based treatment, but QoL improvements may be inversely related to externalizing symptomology.
