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

School-related functional impairment is common in children and adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, little is known about the characteristics of youth with OCD who struggle in school, whether these struggles interfere with treatment outcomes, and whether treatment improves school-related function. Among 385 youth with OCD at a specialist clinic (mean age [sd] = 13.7 [2.5]; 63.1% girls), 21.6% had partial or no school attendance at intake. Among those who received specialist treatment (n = 322), clinical outcomes were similar in those with no or partial attendance vs. those with full attendance, although the latter group needed fewer treatment sessions and were less likely to take psychotropic medication. At post-treatment, 10.5% still had partial or no school attendance, and 22.8% of youths and 33.3% of parents reported significant school impairment, regardless of response status. Some youth with OCD may benefit from specific supported education and return to school strategies to complement regular evidence-based interventions.
