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

Humans rely on sensory input, particularly visual cues, to form continuous perceptual experiences, where visual processing-the ability to perceive, organize, and integrate visual cues-lays a crucial foundation for behavior. In obsessive-compulsive and anxiety disorders, symptoms are often prompted by visual cues, suggesting that sensory input may drive obsessive-compulsive and anxiety-related behaviors. In this scoping review, we synthesize 36 studies of the existing EEG/ERP literature assessing the extent and direction of visual processing dysfunction in response to both neutral and emotionally salient cues in the obsessive compulsive and anxiety (OCA) spectrum. Although there is a dearth of studies overall, those that exist suggest altered early visual processing in the OCAs, especially in obsessive-compulsive disorder and social anxiety disorder. We explore how the rudimentary processing of visual cues may influence circuits that mediate fear, potentially contributing to obsessive-compulsive and anxiety symptoms. Delineating the electrophysiological correlates of visual processing may contribute to a more nuanced understanding of brain disorders, informing future research and highlighting potential therapeutic targets.
