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

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by intrusive and distressing thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive/ritualistic behaviors (compulsions). OCD pathophysiology is thought to arise from dysregulated cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical (CSTC) loops between cognitive and affective circuits. Clinically effective neurosurgical lesions such as cingulotomy and capsulotomy provide insight into mapping distinct symptoms to circuits, and more modern neuromodulation techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), deep brain stimulation (DBS), and focused ultrasound (FUS) provide the opportunity to develop more precise interventions. We review the literature for neuromodulatory interventions for OCD with a focus on identifying common circuits across modalities. Future directions such as closed-loop DBS and more precisely identifying symptom subtypes are also discussed.
