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
The tripartite model of perfectionism comprising maladaptive, adaptive, and non-perfectionists, has been consistently supported in the literature. However, the conceptual grounds of the grouping variables which distinguish maladaptive and adaptive perfectionists are relatively weak. Drawing on the robust conceptual intersections of perfectionism and self-compassion and employing Latent Profile Analysis, this cross-sectional study purported to validate the tripartite model of perfectionism with South Korean college students. Data were collected from 375 South Korean college students through an online survey. Participants completed an online survey assessing their levels of perfectionism, self-compassion, depression, psychological distress, self-esteem, and life satisfaction. Latent Profile Analysis revealed three distinct groups of maladaptive perfectionists, adaptive perfectionists, and non-perfectionists, categorized by varying levels of perfectionism and self-compassion. Psychological characteristics of the three groups were illuminated by their mean differences across depression, psychological distress, self-esteem, and life satisfaction. Self-compassion may assist as a key differentiator between adaptive and maladaptive perfectionists, despite their shared perfectionistic tendencies. Implications for the study findings and directions for future research were discussed.
