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) affects 1-3% of the global population and ranks among the top ten most disabling medical conditions. While abnormalities in cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical circuits have been implicated in OCD pathophysiology, the molecular mechanisms underlying these neural aberrations remain incompletely understood. Protein palmitoylation, a reversible post-translational modification, is essential for neuronal development and synaptic function, potentially affecting neurotransmitter systems linked to OCD. We employed Mendelian randomization (MR) to explore causal relationships between the expression of palmitoylation-related genes, imaging-derived phenotypes (IDPs), and OCD susceptibility. Analysis of 22 palmitoylation-related genes revealed that decreased expression of the palmitoyl acyltransferase ZDHHC4 significantly increases OCD risk (OR = 0.882, 95% CI: 0.831-0.935, p = 2.73 × 10
