Dominant depressive temperament and psychological resilience in obsessive-compulsive disorder.

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
backgroundThis study examined the relationship between obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptom severity and psychological resilience within the framework of dominant depressive temperament (DDT).
methodsA total of 129 patients with OCD were assessed using the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS), the Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA), and the TEMPS-A questionnaire for temperament evaluation. Participants were classified as having DDT based on both established cut-off scores and standardized z-scores for the depressive subscale. Depression and anxiety levels were measured with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI).
resultsPatients with DDT showed significantly higher depression, anxiety, and obsession scores than those without DDT. They also displayed significantly lower scores in most RSA subdimensions (perception of future, structured style, social competence, family cohesion, and social resources), while perception of self did not differ. Interestingly, some resilience subdimensions such as structured style were relatively higher in the DDT group despite greater symptom severity, indicating a paradoxical pattern. Partial correlation analyses controlling for depressive symptoms revealed that, in the DDT group, higher OCD symptom severity was inversely associated with several resilience resources—particularly family cohesion.
conclusionsThe presence of DDT is linked to greater emotional vulnerability and reduced resilience resources, which may exacerbate OCD severity. These findings indicate that the interplay between affective temperament and resilience in OCD remains significant even after accounting for depressive symptoms, underscoring the importance of incorporating temperament profiling and resilience assessment into clinical evaluation. Interventions that target resilience may be particularly beneficial for OCD patients with DDT. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
