Non-just-right experiences are more closely related to OCD than tics in Tourette patients.

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
Complex tics and obsessive or compulsive behaviour can be difficult to differentiate diagnostically. The majority of adult patients with Tourette syndrome report experiencing premonitory urges before tics. Some of these experiences have been linked to non-just-right experiences (NJRE), which are frequently reported by patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder or behaviours (OCD/OCB). We aimed to assess whether NJRE are more closely related to tics and tic-associated premonitory urges or whether they are more closely associated with OCD. A total of N = 111 patients (mean age = 34.77 + /-12.93; N = 37 female) with a confirmed diagnosis of Tourette syndrome completed the premonitory urges for tic disorders scale (PUTS), the revised non-just-right experiences scale (NJRE-QR), and questionnaires regarding their tic severity, and comorbid OCD/OCB. A multi-trait-multi-methods matrix was calculated to examine associations amongst scales measuring tic-related and OCB-related phenomena. The PUTS correlated overall higher with tic questionnaires than with OCD/OCB questionnaires. The NJRE correlated higher with OCD symptoms than with tic severity. The results indicate that non-just-right experiences are more closely associated with comorbid OCB than with tics in patients with Tourette syndrome.
