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

Objective: Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most common evidence-based treatments for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, barriers such as cost, distance, and time constraints have increased interest in internet-based therapeutic alternatives. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and user satisfaction of a therapist-guided internet-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (ICBT) program integrated with a new mobile application, FightOCD, in reducing obsessive-compulsive symptoms, obsessive beliefs, and depressive symptoms among patients with OCD. Method: A single-case A-B design with follow-up was employed, involving a two-week baseline period followed by 12 therapist-guided ICBT sessions for six patients with OCD. Assessments included the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS), Obsessional Beliefs Questionnaire-44 (OBQ-44), Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8), Mobile Health Satisfaction Questionnaire (MHSQ), and Therapist Satisfaction Scale (TSS). Results: Visual analysis of clinical outcomes indicated substantial improvement in all participants. Mixed-model analysis revealed that the intervention significantly reduced obsessive-compulsive symptoms (β=-11.64, p<0.001; d=0.64), obsessive beliefs (β=-48.17, p<0.01; d=1.35), and depressive symptoms (β=-11.87, p<0.01; d=0.70). Both patients and therapists reported moderate to high levels of satisfaction with the ICBT program and the FightOCD mobile application. Conclusion: Integrating therapist-guided ICBT with the FightOCD mobile application had beneficial effects on obsessive-compulsive symptoms and depression in patients with OCD.
