Concept formation as a computational cognitive process.
Article in Current opinion in behavioral sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
Hippocampus and entorhinal cortex form cognitive maps that represent relations among memories within a multidimensional space. While these relational maps have long been proposed to contribute to episodic memory, recent work suggests that they also support concept formation by representing relevant features for discriminating among related concepts. Cognitive maps may be refined by medial prefrontal cortex, which selects dimensions to represent based on their behavioral relevance. Hippocampal pattern completion, which is critical for retrieval of episodic memories, may also contribute to generalization of existing concepts to new exemplars. Navigation within hippocampal cognitive maps, which is guided by grid coding in entorhinal cortex, may contribute to imagination through recombination of event elements or concept features.
