The Current Status of the Dark Triad and Light Triad Personality Traits in Preclinical Nursing Students and Their Impact on Sympathy.
Article in Nursing open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimsTo explore the current status of the dark triad and light triad among preclinical nursing students and their impact on sympathy.
designThis was a descriptive cross-sectional study.
methodsData were collected from 414 preclinical nursing students using the Trait Sympathy Scale, Dirty Dozen, and Light Triad Scale.
resultsIn the dark triad traits, nursing students scored highest on the narcissism dimension. In the light triad traits, the highest scores were observed in the humanitarianism dimension. Trait sympathy scores were significantly negatively correlated with Machiavellianism and psychopathy scores but significantly positively correlated with narcissism (which may be related to the prosocial characteristics of narcissism among nursing students) and all dimensions of the light triad. Multiple regression analysis indicated that humanitarianism, Kantianism, narcissism, and psychopathy were predictors of sympathy among preclinical nursing students.
