Long-term fragility: Interference susceptibility may be an inherent characteristic of memory traces acquired through fast mapping.
Article in Cognitive neuroscience. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Research in adults and in children has demonstrated that item-label memory traces created during Fast Mapping (FM) can be retained over extended time-periods but are also highly susceptible to interference. This could be an inherent and adaptive characteristic of inferential learning allowing rapid and prolonged retention while maintaining a hypothesis status for easy abandonment in case of new evidence suggesting erroneous inference. These characteristics dictate boundary conditions for learning through FM that are best investigated by examining memory dynamics rather than memory quantity and necessitate more nuanced interpretations than recent reviews of FM in children and adults offer.
