Psychotic Vulnerability in Adolescents With Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: First Longitudinal Evidence From a Prospective Pilot Study.
Article in Early intervention in psychiatry, 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
aimChildhood-onset Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) has been associated with an increased vulnerability to psychosis, yet no prospective studies have examined this risk in paediatric populations.
methodsIn this pilot prospective study, 59 adolescents with a primary diagnosis of OCD were assessed at baseline for psychotic vulnerability, measured through Cognitive-Perceptual basic symptoms (COPER) and the high-risk criterion Cognitive Disturbances (COGDIS), as well as for OCD severity and psychosocial functioning. The number of subjects who developed a first episode of psychosis (FEP) during the 18-month follow-up period was evaluated. Logistic regression and moderation analyses were performed.
resultsDuring the follow-up period, 18.6% of participants presented with a FEP. These patients were older and displayed poorer psychosocial functioning compared with those who did not develop a FEP. Logistic regression identified higher COPER symptoms and lower psychosocial functioning as the only significant predictors of FEP. Although moderation effects were not statistically significant, exploratory simple slopes suggested that both COPER and COGDIS symptoms were more strongly associated with psychosis onset in adolescents with lower psychosocial functioning.
conclusionsThis study highlights a notable rate of progression to psychosis among adolescents with OCD over an 18-month period. Despite methodological limitations, our findings offer preliminary evidence that COPER symptoms and impaired psychosocial functioning are key risk factors in adolescents with OCD for progression to psychosis.
