Impulsivity in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder: exploring the mediating effect of cognitive emotion regulation strategies and depressive symptoms.

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
Background: The underlying mechanism of impulsivity in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) patients is complex and still unclear. Previous studies have not thoroughly explored whether impulsivity in OCD patients is a result of the obsessive-compulsive symptoms themselves or other contributing factors. This study aimed to explore whether cognitive emotion regulation strategies and depressive symptoms mediate the relationship between the severity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms and impulsivity in a clinical population with OCD. Methods: This was a case-control study that recruited 65 OCD patients (male/female=31/34) and 65 healthy controls (male/female =23/42), matched for age, gender, and education level. Demographic and clinical data were collected, and the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS), Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-11 (BIS-11) and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) were adopted. Results: OCD patients scored higher on BIS-11 attentional and non-planning impulsiveness and total scores (all Conclusions: OCD symptom severity indirectly influences impulsivity through emotion regulation strategies and depressive symptoms, highlighting the need to target these mediators in clinical interventions.
