Increased Frequency of Self-Reported Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms in Patients with Functional Movement Disorders.
Article in Movement disorders clinical practice, 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
Background: Functional movement disorders (FMD) are associated with a high prevalence of psychiatric comorbidities. Objective: To assess the frequency of obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS) in FMD. Methods: A total of 167 consecutive patients with clinically definite FMD (mean age = 44.4 years, standard deviation [SD] = 12.0, 119 females) and 145 healthy controls (mean age = 43.2 years, SD = 11.8, 103 females) completed the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R), which is a widely used tool for assessing OCS. The cutoff score ≥21 is indicative of clinically significant obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Motor symptom severity was assessed using the Simplified FMD Rating Scale (S-FMDRS). All subjects completed questionnaires for depression, anxiety, pain, fatigue, cognitive complaints, health-related quality of life, and childhood trauma. Personality traits were assessed using the Big Five questionnaire. Results: FMD patients had higher mean OCI-R score and higher proportion of individuals with OCI-R ≥ 21 42%, 95% confidence interval (CI) = (30.2, 54.6) versus 16%, 95% CI = (8.2, 28.2) in controls, Conclusions: FMD patients reported higher rates of OCS compared to controls, along with higher rates of non-motor symptoms and lower quality of life. This finding may have clinical implications and raises the possibility of shared risk factors and common pathophysiological mechanisms in FMD and OCD.
