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
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by obsessions and compulsions that significantly impair functioning. Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) co-occurs in 17-45% of OCD patients, worsening outcomes across multiple domains. Therefore, we aimed to study the impact of OCPD in more detail by analyzing selected comorbidities, emotional aspects, and sociodemographic data. This study assessed 78 OCD patients (average age 44.9 years, 34.61% OCPD), using Y-BOCS, BABS, BPAQ, BIS-11, YMRS, HDRS-17, and ASEX. Patients with comorbid OCPD had significantly worse outcomes in symptom severity (Y-BOCS = 0.0006), treatment duration (p = 0.0127), insight (BABS, p = 0.0185), aggression (p = 0.0266), impulsivity (p = 0.0469), depression (HDRS, p = 0.0178), mania (YMRS, p = 0.0003), and sexual dysfunction (ASEX, p = 0.008). OCPD was more prevalent in unemployed individuals (p = 0.046) and older patients (p = 0.009). No significant differences were found regarding gender, education, or relationship status. Obsessions and compulsions, such as contamination (p = 0.025), somatic (p = 0.018), ruminations (p = 0.003), and obsessional slowness (p = 0.007), were more common in the OCPD group. In the group with OCPD, aggression and OCD severity were correlated with increased levels of depression, which can be considered potential correlates of bipolarity in the relationship between OCD and OCPD. In conclusion, OCPD significantly worsens clinical outcomes in OCD across emotional, behavioral, and functional dimensions.
