Examination of perception of threat from emotion as mechanisms underlying the relationship between obsessive compulsive symptom dimensions and anxiety symptoms.
Article in BMC psychology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe present study examined the mediating role of perceived threats from anxiety in the relationships among trait anxiety, state anxiety, and the obsessive-compulsive symptom dimension in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
methodsPatients with OCD (N = 170) completed scales assessing trait and state anxiety, OCD dimensions symptom severity, and perceived threat from anxiety with mediation analyses.
resultsPerceived threat from anxiety appears to be a significant mediator between trait anxiety and harm and unacceptable thoughts symptom dimensions; perceived threat from anxiety had minimal power as a mediator in the relationship between trait anxiety and in the contamination or symmetry dimensions. However, there were no significant relationships between state anxiety and harm and mistakes, unacceptable thoughts or symmetry dimensions except for the contamination dimension.
conclusionsThe findings from our study indicate the significance of perceived threats of anxiety as a mediator function between trait anxiety and OCD symptom dimensions, which may be a maintenance factor. Enhancing the recognition of the role of cognitive mechanisms in the association between trait anxiety rather than state anxiety and different obsessive-compulsive symptom dimensions could contribute to the development of dimension-specific interventions.
