Using the K-Means Node Clustering Method and ROC Curve Analysis to Define Cut-Off Scores for the Caregiving System Scale.
Article in International journal of psychology : Journal international de psychologie, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This study was conducted to establish cut-off scores for the subscales of the Caregiving System Scale (CSS). Two samples of Italian adults (N's = 682 and 227) completed the CSS. In the first sample, K-means node clustering and ROC curve analyses were conducted. Four caregiving profiles were identified and cut-off scores were calculated for classifying participants into these profiles. In the second sample, participants completed the CSS and the Attachment Style Questionnaire. Findings supported the presence of unique CSS profiles and meaningful connections between them and attachment orientations. This work offers a method for determining cut-off scores when gold-standard measures needed to run ROC curve analyses are unavailable.
