The medial prefrontal cortex is needed for resolving interference even when there are no changes in task rules and strategies.
Article in Behavioral neuroscience, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays a key role in behavioral flexibility, and the ability to resolve conflict from shifting strategies, task rules or attentional demands seems to be a hallmark of PFC function. Conflict also occurs in the domain of memory and the PFC plays an important role in the ability to cope with interference between competing retrieval targets. Previous studies often involved both interference and changes in task demands, which makes it difficult to determine the degree to which mnemonic interference per se engages PFC processing. We trained rats on a continuous matching to sample task in two conditions that varied in terms of the amount of interference present but not the task demands and found that temporary inactivation of the medial PFC caused a greater impairment in the high-interference condition. This result suggests that the PFC plays an important role in resolving interference which can be distinguished from its role in shifting task demands.
