ArticleEating and weight disorders : EWD2026
Clinical and sociodemographic correlates of body mass index in a large multicenter obsessive-compulsive disorder sample.
Article in Eating and weight disorders : EWD, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThis multicenter study aims to investigate associations between body mass index (BMI) and sociodemographic and clinical characteristics in a clinical sample of individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
methodsData were analyzed from 947 adults diagnosed with OCD, recruited through the Brazilian Research Consortium on Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum Disorders. BMI was calculated from self-reported weight and height and categorized according to WHO definitions. Sociodemographic and clinical data were obtained using standardized instruments. Associations between BMI and sociodemographic/clinical variables were examined using linear regression models.
resultsThe mean BMI in the sample was 24.55 kg/m
conclusionAlthough BMI was unrelated to OCD severity, it was associated with demographic, clinical, and treatment-related variables, underscoring the need for evaluation beyond symptom-based assessment. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III, as it is based on an observational analytic design using a large cross-sectional multicenter sample.
