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 (OC) disorder (OCD) is a common and potentially disabling illness with a waxing and waning course. OCD significantly disrupts the quality of life. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are first-line pharmacological treatments for OCD and benefit up to half of the patients. Augmentation with low-dose antipsychotics is an evidence-based second-line strategy. Psychotherapy, including cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), is used both as first and second-line treatment. A significant portion of patients, however, do not respond to conventional treatments. We present a case series on the use of Endoxifen as an augmenting agent in patients with OCD and multiple psychiatric comorbidities who did not respond well to conventional pharmacotherapy.
