Assessing compassionate abilities: Translation and psychometric properties of the Italian version of the compassionate engagement and action scales (CEAS).
Article in PloS one, 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
This study aimed to develop the Italian version of the Compassionate Engagement and Action Scales (CEAS) and examine its validity and reliability among Italian-speaking adults. A total of 374 (mean age = 23.11) Italian speaking participants took part in the study. All of them completed a questionnaire comprising the CEAS, together with measures of self-compassion, self-criticism, social support, empathy, well-being and general distress, used to estimate the scale's convergent and criterion-related validity. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) revealed a satisfactory fit for a model in which three second-order factors (Self-compassion, Compassion for others and Compassion from others) were further articulated in two first-order factors (Engagement and Action). All the scales presented good reliability in terms of internal consistency. Correlations with measures of social support, empathy, self-compassion, self-criticism, well-being, and general distress indicated good convergent and criterion-related validity of the Italian version of the CEAS. Taken together, these results suggest that the CEAS can be properly used with Italian-speaking individuals in order to assess the three compassion flows in terms of both engagement and action.
