Obsessive-Compulsive Symptom Dimensions and Their Relationships with Obsessive Beliefs: A Structural Equation Modeling Analysis.
Article in The Psychiatric quarterly, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Dysfunctional beliefs are central in the development and maintenance of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) as well as its treatment. Yet, research suggests that not all dysfunctional beliefs are equally important for each of the symptom dimensions of OCD. However, results are inconsistent in that studies contradict each other regarding the associations between specific symptom dimensions and belief domains. The aim of the present study was to clarify which belief domain is specifically associated with which OCD symptom dimension. Results could help to tailor treatments more specifically to the patient's OCD symptom dimension. In- and outpatients with OCD (N = 328; 43.6% male and 56.4% female) filled out questionnaires on symptom dimensions of OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory Revised) and dysfunctional beliefs (Obsessive Beliefs Questionnaire). A structural equation model analysis was conducted to identify the associations between dysfunctional beliefs and symptom dimensions. Our results showed that perfectionism/intolerance of uncertainty was associated with hoarding and symmetry/ordering, (2) overestimation of threat/inflated responsibility was associated with checking compulsions, and (3) importance of thoughts/control of thoughts was associated with obsessing. These results were largely supported by a backward selection. Our results demonstrated associations of specific dysfunctional beliefs and specific OCD symptom dimensions. However, future studies are necessary to replicate these findings with other measures (e.g., clinician ratings).
