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.

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.

Abstract
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) may be present with distressing intrusive thoughts, urges, or images. When the content is violent, sexual, religious, or linked to magical thinking, severe OCD can be mistaken for psychosis. We present a 19-year-old man with a six-year history of ego-dystonic intrusive harm-related thoughts and images focused on family members, along with checking, touching, counting, reassurance seeking, religious mental rituals, and sexual obsessions. Symptoms began at age 13 after he read about asthma, and later developed a recurrent fear that his maternal grandmother might develop the illness. He recognized these thoughts and images arising from his own mind, experienced them as distressing and excessive, and used rituals to reduce anxiety. Examination did not elicit hallucinations, externally located perceptions, thought insertion, withdrawal, broadcasting, passivity phenomena, behavioral disorganization, or mood, substance-related, or neurological syndrome. The diagnosis was obsessive-compulsive disorder, International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems10th Revision
