Translation and Validation of the German 12-Item Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (OCI-12) in Clinical and Non-Clinical Samples.

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: The Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R) is widely used to assess symptoms of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Despite its consistent factor structure, criticism on its syndromal validity has been raised. With the recent update of the commonly used diagnostic manuals, hoarding symptoms are now better captured by the diagnosis "pathological hoarding". Furthermore, the neutralising scale suffers from relatively low psychometric properties. Consequently, a 12-item version of the scale (OCI-12), excluding hoarding and neutralising items was recently developed in English. The current study examined the psychometric properties of the German version of the OCI-12. Method: The psychometric properties of the translated German version of the OCI-12 were investigated in a German-speaking sample, consisting of 102 participants with OCD, 69 participants with an anxiety-related disorder, and 248 non-clinical controls. Results: The German version of the OCI-12 replicated the four-factor structure of the original English version, with a higher order factor of general OCD symptoms. In addition, similar to the original version, the German OCI-12 showed good internal consistency and test-retest reliability, moderate-to-good construct validity, and good-to-excellent diagnostic accuracy. Conclusion: The German version of the OCI-12 represents a syndromally valid and reliable inventory for assessing OCD symptoms. Psychometric properties are good-to-excellent and comparable to the original English version. The diagnostic sensitivity is good-to-excellent and further supports using the OCI-12 in clinical and research settings.
