Are there any possible contexts in which "called as a past participle" can be used modifying "the whole preceding sentence"?

like,

"some people can't recognize whether their behaviors are morally right or not, called the psychopath phenomenon".

  1. Is "called" modifying "some people can't recognize whether their behaviors are morally right or not" ?

  2. Can we think that "which is" is implied as in "which is called the psychopath phenomenon" ?

"which is" is required. It can't be just implicit. It must be made explicit.

And "which is called ..." isn't modifying anything. It simply adds extra information to the entire clause that precedes.

Main clause: Some people can't recognize whet
