The Mediating Role of Maladaptive Coping in the Association Between Neuroticism and Family Accommodation in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

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
objectiveFamily accommodation, in which relatives facilitate obsessive-compulsive symptoms, is highly prevalent in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and associated with poor treatment outcomes. Although neuroticism and maladaptive coping have been linked to OCD severity, the mechanisms by which personality traits relate to family accommodation remain poorly understood. This study examined associations between neuroticism, coping strategies, symptom severity, and family accommodation in OCD, and tested whether maladaptive coping mediates the neuroticism-family accommodation association.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study with 149 adults diagnosed with OCD via the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 at a university hospital outpatient clinic. Participants completed the Family Accommodation Scale-Patient Version, Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale Self-Report, Big Five Inventory-44, and Brief COPE. Hierarchical regression and bootstrap-based mediation analyses (PROCESS Model 4; 5,000 bootstrap samples) were performed, controlling for age, sex, education, and symptom severity.
resultsOCD symptom severity (β=0.342, p<0.001) and maladaptive coping (β=0.347, p<0.001) were significantly associated with family accommodation, explaining 26.6% of its variance. Neuroticism was not directly associated with family accommodation; however, mediation analysis revealed a significant indirect association through maladaptive coping (B=0.189, 95% confidence interval [0.034 to 0.399]).
conclusionThese cross-sectional findings suggest that maladaptive coping may represent a potential behavioral pathway linking neuroticism to family accommodation in OCD. While the findings provide a theoretical rationale for further investigating coping mechanisms, longitudinal and experimental studies are needed to determine whether interventions targeting maladaptive coping lead to reductions in family accommodation.
