Network Analysis of Triarchic Psychopathy Measure (TriPM) and Other Self Report Measures of Psychopathy.
Article in Journal of personality, 2026. 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
introductionNetwork analysis is a statistical tool for understanding interrelations between symptoms and the relative importance of symptoms in a disorder. This is especially appealing to psychopathy researchers, as network analysis may provide some insights that bring the field closer to resolving debates about psychopathy-relevant features.
methodsIn the present study (N = 612), we first conducted network analysis on the Triarchic Psychopathy Measure (TriPM) and subsequently conducted a scale-level analysis of psychopathic traits from seven psychopathy inventories.
resultsIn the TriPM network, we found that items from Meanness and Disinhibition were among the most central. Meanness items assessing deficits in empathy were highly influential nodes in the network, but also demonstrated significant topological overlap. Boldness items were less central but still important to the TriPM network. Scales indexing impulse control problems, affective deficits, and interpersonal dominance were among the most influential in the domain-level network. This included measures of callousness, impulsiveness, and need for stimulation, and grandiosity and manipulativeness.
conclusionDespite concerns about the application of network analysis to cross-sectional data, our results support the relevance of boldness, meanness, and disinhibition to the conceptualization and measurement of psychopathy.
