Linking insomnia and OCD symptoms during the coronavirus pandemic: Examination of prospective associations.
Article in Journal of anxiety disorders, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
There is considerable concern in the mental health community about the psychological consequences of the coronavirus pandemic and who may be most vulnerable. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms may be particularly sensitive to the context of the pandemic. Previous research suggests insomnia symptoms may contribute to increased OCD symptoms over time, particularly during times of stress, such as the pandemic. The present study examined pre-coronavirus outbreak insomnia symptoms as a predictor of post-coronavirus outbreak OCD symptoms in a sample of community adults who completed a 2016 survey study and were re-contacted on April 1, 2020 (N = 369). Results revealed a small significant increase in OCD symptoms following the coronavirus outbreak and a small significant decrease in insomnia symptoms. Pre-coronavirus outbreak insomnia symptoms significantly predicted increases in post-coronavirus outbreak OCD symptoms. Similar results were found for specific OCD symptom facets with the exception of washing and hoarding symptoms, which were unrelated to pre-coronavirus insomnia symptoms. There was no evidence for a reverse effect of prior OCD symptoms on insomnia symptoms during the pandemic. These findings suggest those with insomnia symptoms prior to the coronavirus pandemic may be vulnerable to increases in some OCD symptoms during the pandemic. The implications for preventing adverse psychological responses during the coronavirus pandemic are discussed.
