Mapping psychological heterogeneity in military cadets: a multi-method framework combining network analysis, latent profiles, and risk nomograms.

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: Military training imposes sustained psychological demands, yet cadet cohorts are typically treated as homogeneous, which obscures individual differences in distress, resilience, and adaptation. This study examined psychological adaptation and its heterogeneity across an initial training period. Methods: Ninety-two cadets completed the DASS-21, the CD-RISC-25, and personality measures on three occasions spanning five months. A multi-method framework combined four complementary analyses: longitudinal measurement invariance testing through confirmatory factor analysis and Tucker's congruence coefficients, psychological network estimation with graphical LASSO regularisation, latent profile analysis, and logistic regression nomograms developed as clinical screening tools. A pre-specified sensitivity analysis replaced the baseline dynamic indicators with T2 minus T0 change scores while keeping trait level inputs unchanged. Results: The CD-RISC-25 demonstrated excellent factorial stability (mean congruence = .971), whereas the DASS-21 showed fair stability (mean congruence = .867). Depression and stress formed the strongest partial correlation edge (r = .54, bootstrap inclusion = 100%), with resilience acting as a bridging node between distress and personality domains. Latent profile analysis identified five cadet profiles with high classification entropy (.973) and significant differentiation across 17 outcome variables. The change score solution again yielded five profiles (entropy = .955) but showed only moderate concordance with the primary solution (adjusted Rand index = .245). The academic performance nomogram achieved the highest cross-validated accuracy (AUC = .682). Discussion: Baseline and trajectory typologies capture complementary, non-redundant facets of cadet heterogeneity, supporting an integrated account of adaptation to military training and offering practical tools for early identification of at risk cadets, although predictive accuracy remains modest.
