1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory-Short Version (YPI-S) is a widely used self-report measure assessing psychopathic traits across three dimensions: Grandiose-Manipulative (GM), Callous-Unemotional (CU), and Impulsive-Irresponsible (II). Although originally developed for adolescents, emerging evidence suggests its relevance for adults. However, its psychometric properties have not been evaluated in adult clinical populations. This study addressed that gap by examining the factor structure, measurement invariance, internal consistency, and validity of the YPI-S in a clinical sample of adults.

methods417 adult outpatients (aged 18-65; M = 34.48, SD = 9.64; 37.1% male) from Taleghani Hospital in Tehran, Iran, completed the measures.

resultsConfirmatory factor analysis supported the expected hierarchical three-factor structure, with measurement invariance across sex groups. The YPI-S also demonstrated adequate internal consistency and yielded theoretically consistent associations with maladaptive personality traits (e.g., Antagonism, Negative Affectivity, Detachment, and Anankastia), supporting its convergent and discriminant validity.

conclusionsThese findings provide preliminary support for the YPI-S as a reliable and valid measure of psychopathic traits in adult clinical populations, with potential utility in both research and applied settings.
