Shame and Defectiveness Beliefs in Treatment Seeking Patients With Body Dysmorphic Disorder.
Article in The Journal of nervous and mental disease, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Shame is a distressing emotion experienced when individuals judge themselves in a broadly negative and critical manner. Clinical descriptions of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) emphasize the centrality of shame, yet research on shame in BDD remains scarce. This study is the largest investigation of shame in clinically diagnosed individuals with BDD, and it is the first to examine whether shame changes with treatment. Eighty-three adults with BDD were treated with 14 weeks of open-label escitalopram. Shame was measured using the Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form. Shame was significantly higher in individuals with BDD than in previously reported healthy control and psychiatric outpatient samples. Shame was significantly, moderately correlated with greater suicidal thoughts and hopelessness and marginally significantly correlated with greater BDD severity. Shame decreased significantly with treatment. Reductions in shame with escitalopram were significantly associated with reductions in suicidal thoughts and hopelessness, even when accounting for reductions in BDD and depression severity.
