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

objectiveObsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) burdens family members. Certain responses of family members to OCD augment their burden, namely accommodation and antagonism. Family interventions are successful in reducing severity of OCD but surprisingly, the impact of family interventions on the burden of family members has received little attention.

method16 family members of patients with OCD were treated - together with the patient - with our brief CBT family intervention focusing on accommodation, antagonism and normalizing the family relationship. Family burden, accommodation and antagonism were measured before and after the family intervention with: Involvement Evaluation Questionnaire, Impact on Relatives Scale, EuroQol five dimensional questionnaire (EQ-5D), Family Accommodation Scale - Self Report and the Perceived Criticism Measure.

resultsThe burden of family members of patients with OCD was considerable and comparable to the burden of family members of patients with schizophrenia. Family burden was diminished after the brief dyadic family intervention and correlated to a decrease in accommodation.

conclusionsOur brief dyadic family intervention is promising in relieving the burden of family members of patients with OCD.
