1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a common neuropsychiatric disorder that markedly affects the quality of life of affected patients. There is increasing evidence that abnormal epigenetic mechanisms of gene expression are involved in the pathogenesis of this disorder. This article reviews the available data on epigenetic abnormalities found in patients with this disorder. The article also reviews the data on the use of epigenetic therapy in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and epigenetic changes noted during psychotherapy of patients with this disorder. More detailed knowledge of the role of abnormal epigenetic mechanisms underlying obsessive-compulsive disorder could facilitate the development of new drugs for treating this disorder and the development of biomarkers for this disorder.
