Artificial Intelligence in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A Systematic Review.
Review in Current treatment options in psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose of Review: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic and disabling condition, often leading to significant functional impairments. Despite its early onset, there is an average delay of 17 years from symptom onset to diagnosis and treatment, resulting in poorer outcomes. This systematic review aims to synthesize current findings on the application of AI in OCD, highlighting opportunities for early symptom detection, scalable therapy training, clinical decision support, novel therapeutics, computer vision-based approaches, and multimodal biomarker discovery. Recent Findings: While previous reviews focused on biomarker-based OCD detection and treatment using machine learning (ML), the findings of the current review add information about novel applications of deep learning technology, specifically generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and natural language processing (NLP). Among the included 13 articles, most studies (84.6%) utilized secondary data analyses, primarily through GenAI/NLP. Nearly 77% of these studies were published in the past two years, with high quality of evidence. The primary focus areas were enhancing treatment and management, and timely OCD detection (both 38.5%); followed by AI tool development for broader mental health applications. Summary: AI technologies offer transformative potential for improvements related to OCD if diagnosis occurs earlier after onset; thereby lessening the consequential economic burden. Prioritizing investment in ethically sound AI research could significantly improve OCD outcomes in mental health care.
