The latent structure of olfactory reference disorder symptoms: A taxometric analysis.
Article in Journal of obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Olfactory reference disorder (ORD), a newly included disorder in the ICD-11, is characterized by 'pathological' concerns about emitting body odor. While research is emerging on the construct, no study has directly examined the boundary between ORD and normal body odor concerns. That is, should ORD be considered as categorical in nature versus a more dimensional construct? As such, the current study explored the extent to which ORD symptoms correspond to a distinct category or dimension in a mixed university student and community sample (n = 757). Three indicators, derived from the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale Modified for Olfactory Reference Syndrome, were submitted to three independent taxometric procedures: MAMBAC, MAXEIG, and L-Mode. Two of three procedures showed that the latent structure of ORD is dimensional rather than categorical. The comparison curve fit index profile method yielded dimensional structure. Results suggested that researchers and clinical practitioners would be well-advised to conceptualize, assess, and treat ORD symptoms in a dimensional way.
