Disturbances in time perception in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Article in European archives of psychiatry and clinical neuroscience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe experience of time and the temporal order of external and internal events is essential for humans. Impairments in the experience of time have long been discussed in relation to main psychiatric disorders, but rarely in relation to obsessive-compulsive disorder. This pilot study therefore investigated impairments in the experience of time in terms of time perception and time awareness in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, as well as possible neurobiological correlates.
methodTwenty patients (11 men and 9 women, mean age 43.3, SD = 14.3) with an ICD-10 diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder (F42.X) and 20 healthy subjects matched by age and gender (13 men and 7 women, mean age 40.2, SD = 15.4) were examined using time experience questionnaires, time estimation tasks, and flicker fusion frequency.
resultsSignificant differences were found in the experience of time between patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder and healthy control subjects. The patient group scored lower on time knowledge, time perception, and time management. It is worth mentioning the positive significant correlation (r = 0.641; p = 0.002) between the severity of compulsive behavior and impaired time management. DISCUSSION: Disturbances in the experience of time appear to play an important role in psychiatric disorders, also in OCD. It is suggested that the process changes in the experience of time should be given greater consideration in current psychopathological findings.
