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
Background: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric condition characterized by unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Medical undergraduates are at higher risk of developing OCD due to academic stress and the need for precision in patient care. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and correlates of OCD symptoms among medical students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2022 to June 2022 among 640 medical undergraduates at a tertiary care institute in Secunderabad, Telangana, India. Data were collected using the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R) scale, with a score of ≥21 considered as indicative of probable OCD. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 21 with significance set at Results: The mean age of participants was 20.8 ± 1.5 years, with a female predominance (61.2%). A probable OCD prevalence of 29.1% was observed. Younger age (≤20 years), female gender, first and second academic years, and a family history of OCD were significantly associated with higher OCD symptoms ( Conclusion: OCD symptoms were notably prevalent among medical students, highlighting the need for early screening, mental health support, and stigma reduction initiatives within medical colleges to promote overall well-being.
