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

BackgroundObsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often co-occur and have overlapping symptom profiles. Detection and diagnosis of ASD in youth with OCD can therefore be challenging but is crucial to inform care planning.AimThe current study aimed to provide a psychometric evaluation of the Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ), a widely used parent-report measure for assessing ASD traits, in youth with OCD.MethodIn total, 484 young people with an ICD-10 diagnosis of OCD completed a battery of measures as part of a specialist clinical assessment.ResultsExploratory factor analyses (EFA) suggested a multidimensional factor solution for the SCQ, although an adequate factor solution was not identified due to cross-loading and/or weak loading items. The SCQ had good internal consistency (KR20 = 0.85), and good convergent validity with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) Prosocial Behaviour subscale (
