An ultra-brief screening scale for pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder: The OCI-CV-5.
Article in Journal of affective disorders, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundObsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an often disabling and chronic condition that is normally assessed using diagnostic interviews or lengthy self-report questionnaires. This makes routine screening in general health settings impractical, and as a result OCD is often under-(or mis-)recognized. The present study reports on the development of an ultra-brief version of the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Child Version (OCI-CV) which may be administered routinely as a screener for pediatric OCD.
methodA total of 489 youth diagnosed with OCD, 259 non-clinical controls, and 299 youth with other disorders completed the OCI-CV and other indices of psychopathology. Using item analyses, we extracted five items and examined the measure's factor structure, sensitivity and specificity, and convergent and discriminant validity.
resultsWe extracted five items that assess different dimensions of OCD (washing, checking, ordering, obsessing, neutralizing/counting), termed the OCI-CV-5. Results revealed that the measure possesses good to excellent psychometric properties, and a cutoff off (≥2) yielded optimal sensitivity and specificity. LIMITATIONS: Participants were predominantly White. In addition, more research is needed to examine the OCI-CV-5's test-retest reliability and sensitivity to treatment.
conclusionsThe OCI-CV-5 shows promise as an ultra-brief self-report screener for identifying OCD in youth when in-depth assessment is unfeasible.
