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

This study examines perceived stress associated with obsessions and compulsions (OC) in a normative sample of adults. The aim was to discover whether socio-demographic characteristics (i.e., gender, marital status, employment status, age and education) had a moderating effect on perceived stress and OC symptoms. The participants were 362 Pakistani adults (M age = 26.82 years, SD = 4.75; males = 188, females = 174) and the findings were based on a demographic questionnaire, the perceived stress scale (Cohen et al., in Applied multiple correlation/regression analysis for the behavioral sciences, Taylor & Francis, London, 1983), and the Padua inventory of obsessive compulsion disorder symptoms (Burns et al., in Behav Res Ther, 34(2), 163-173, 1996). A series of stepwise regression analyses showed that socio-demographic characteristics (employment status, age, and education) significantly moderated the relationship between perceived stress and OC symptoms. The current findings have implications for clinicians and researchers in generating effective stress management programs and learning mechanism for managing OC symptoms, particularly in the context of socio-demographic characteristics.
