Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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/objective: The Dark Triad of personality (Machiavellianism, narcissism, and subclinical psychopathy) has garnered increasing attention in organizational settings due to its impact on workplace behavior and organizational climate. This study aimed to examine the expression of these traits in work environments in Chile and Spain, taking into account potential differences based on geographic-cultural background, age group, occupation, and gender. Method: A non-experimental cross-sectional design was employed with a sample of 173 employed individuals. The Dark Triad of Personality at Work (TOP) questionnaire was administered, assessing egocentric views of work (EGO), imposing attitudes (IMPO), and impulsive/disengaged styles (NCI). Results: Male participants scored significantly higher across the three theoretical dimensions and in the subscales of Authority Need and Impulsivity (η Conclusion: Overall, variables such as gender, geographic background, and organizational hierarchy appear to modulate adaptive expressions of dark personality traits, without reaching dysfunctional levels.
