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

backgroundObsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a heterogeneous disease in many respects and exhibits this diversity in terms of phenomenology. It also displays several different characteristics in children compared to adults.

aimTo describe the socio-demographic and phenomenological features of children with OCD and to investigate the impact of these features on response to pharmacotherapy.

methodsThis retrospective study was carried out with 150 children and adolescents who had been diagnosed with OCD between 2014 and 2018. Data was collected by examining the files of the patients with diagnosis of OCD and similar disorders from the hospital database. Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale for Children was used for the assessment of obsession-compulsion subtypes. The Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale was used to evaluate the severity of the disease (CGI-S) and global improvement (CGI-I). The predictors of treatment response were evaluated using linear regression analysis. The level of significance for all statistic tests was set as

resultsThe sample was divided into prepubertal (44%) and adolescent (56%) age groups. The most prevalent obsessions were contamination and aggression obsessions, and the most frequent compulsions were washing and checking. While contamination was observed more commonly in the prepubertal age group, the religious obsession was seen more frequently in adolescents. Patients with aggression obsession presented a higher frequency of comorbid anxiety (

conclusionThe phenomenology of OCD shows differences depending on the age group and the comorbid psychiatric disorders. Earlier identification and treatment of OCD may help to prevent the impairment of the mental health of children and adolescents.
