Psychopathic Traits and Sensation Seeking in Young General Population.
Article in Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 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
backgroundThe construct of psychopathy encompasses the manifestation of psychopathic traits in subclinical populations related to sensation seeking. This study aims to examine the relationship between these two constructs and to determine whether differences exist as a function of age and gender.
methodA total of 345 participants aged between 18 and 40 years (M = 24.72, SD = 5.60) were recruited and completed the Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale (LSRP) and the Brief Sensation Seeking Scale (BSS).
resultsPositive and significant correlations were found between the three psychopathy factors and the disinhibition subscale. Specifically, the interpersonal and behavioural factors were positively associated with disinhibition, whereas the affective factor showed a negative association. Gender differences were observed, with men scoring higher on the behavioural factor of psychopathy, disinhibition and sensation seeking.
conclusionsThe findings confirm the relationship between psychopathy and sensation seeking in a subclinical population and contribute to a better understanding of their potential implications.
