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
An increasing number of neuroimaging studies have implicated alterations of white matter in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) gene plays a major role in myelination, and has previously demonstrated significant association with this disorder, thus variations in this gene may contribute to observed white matter alterations. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between white matter volume in OCD and genetic variations in the MOG gene. Two polymorphisms in the MOG gene, MOG(C1334T) and MOG(C10991T), were investigated for association with total white matter volume as measured using volumetric magnetic resonance imaging in 37 pediatric OCD patients. We compared white matter volumes between allele and genotype groups for each polymorphism using ANCOVA. A significant relationship was detected between genotype C/C of MOG(C10991T) and decreased total white matter volume (P = 0.016). Our results showed an association between a MOG genetic variant and white matter volume. This finding is intriguing in light of the posited role of white matter alteration in the etiology of at least some cases of childhood-onset OCD. Further investigation with larger samples and sub-regional white matter volume phenotypes is warranted.
