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

Background: Sensory phenomena (SP) affect 60%-80% of obsessive-compulsive (OC) disorder (OCD) patients, demonstrate dimension-specific symptom associations, yet their mechanistic role in OCD's network architecture remains unexamined. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 1350 clinician-diagnosed OCD patients from the China OCD Cohort (COCC) underwent standardized assessments using the University of São Paulo SP Scale (USP-SPS), Yale-Brown OC Scale (Y-BOCS), OC Inventory-Revised (OCI-R), and Beck Depression Inventory-II/Beck Anxiety Inventory (BDI-II/BAI). Network analysis was utilized to identify core/bridge symptoms and test network differences across early/late-onset and SP-severity subgroups. Results: SP-positive OCD patients ( Conclusion: SP may represent a clinically meaningful dimension of OCD psychopathology, within which SP subtypes operate as a heterogeneous set of experiences rather than a uniform construct, differentially shaping symptom connectivity. Anxiety serves as a critical bridge between SP and OC symptoms, while SP severity functions as a symptom network intensifier rather than a structural reorganizer. Future studies should explore whether precision interventions targeting anxiety and sensory-channel-specific pathways may improve treatment outcomes for refractory OCD with SP.
