Memory as a foundation for approach and avoidance decisions: A fertile area for research.
Review in Memory & cognition, 2025. 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
Scant research has directly measured the extent episodic memory serves as the basis for decisions, particularly decisions to approach or avoid other people (i.e., social targets). In this theoretical paper, we survey the limited work showing the relationship between episodic memory and subsequent approach or avoidance decisions about social targets, including descriptions of significant limitations of past work. We then describe three important areas for future work in this domain (explicit memory, implicit memory, diagnosticity) as a framework to generate new foundational knowledge about the extent memory influences approach and avoidance decisions. Overall, the framework proposed in this work should lead to better understanding of the connection between memory and decision-making, especially decisions to approach or avoid social targets (i.e., other people).
