Design and construction of internet-based cognitive-behavioural therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder in Iran: A feasibility study.
Article in Internet interventions, 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
Background: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a debilitating mental health problem that is frequently inadequately treated in several areas owing to restricted access to specialised services, societal stigma, and elevated treatment expenses Internet-based cognitive-behavioural therapy (ICBT) offers an effective and accessible alternative. To date, no Persian-language ICBT for OCD has been rigorously established or evaluated. Objectives: This study aimed to develop and evaluate the feasibility of a culturally adapted Persian ICBT for OCD in Iran, examining its acceptability, applicability, and preliminary clinical outcomes from the perspectives of both clinicians and clients. Methods: The ICBT protocol was designed and constructed based on Salkovskis's model and culturally tailored for Iran. Feasibility was evaluated by 19 CBT therapists and 15 clients using a structured feasibility scale. Clients also completed pre- and post-treatment assessments of OCD severity (Y-BOCS), satisfaction (CSQ), credibility/expectancy (CEQ), and adherence (TAAS). Results: All feasibility subscales were rated significantly above threshold ( Conclusion: These findings suggested the preliminary feasibility and strong demand for ICBT for OCD in Iran. The positive evaluations from both professionals and clients, coupled with significant symptom reduction and high user satisfaction, position this program as a promising, accessible treatment alternative for OCD patients.
