Exploring alexithymia with the French Perth alexithymia questionnaire: latent structure, profiles, and links with affective outcomes.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction: Alexithymia is of high clinical interest and its measurement remains an important evolving area of research. The Perth Alexithymia Questionnaire (PAQ) is a self-report measure designed to enable facet-level and valence-specific assessments of alexithymia. Here we aimed to introduce a French version of the PAQ, examine its psychometric performance, and use the PAQ to further explore the nature of the alexithymia construct. Method: Participants in Belgium ( Results: Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the PAQ had a theoretically congruent factor structure. All PAQ scores had high reliability and showed good concurrent validity with other measures of alexithymia, emotion regulation, and psychopathology. Sound discriminant validity was also established. Our LPA extracted eight profiles, highlighting the value of facet-level and valence-specific analysis of alexithymia. Some profiles had difficulties in all facets of alexithymia and both valence domains, whereas others had difficulties only in the appraisal of negative emotions. Conclusion: Overall, our results indicate that the French PAQ has strong psychometric properties, and that facet-level and valence-specific assessments can be valuable in further understanding the alexithymia construct.
