Predictors of subjective memory functioning in young adults.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundThe characteristics of subjective memory and the underlying cause of subjective memory complaints are well-established in the older population, but less is known about memory functioning and self-perceived memory deficiency in young adults. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the potential contributing factors of subjective memory complaints in young adults, such as objective cognitive performance, negative affective state, well-being and subjective sleep quality.
methods125 participants over the age of 18 years were recruited in the study (average age was 21 years (SD = 2.29), 58 males and 67 females, average education of the participants was 14.1 years (SD = 1.94). We measured subjective memory with Multifactorial Memory Questionnaire and different cognitive domains (such as short- and long-term verbal and visual memory, working memory, and executive functions), negative affective states (depression and anxiety), well-being, and subjective sleep quality.
resultsOur results showed that depression had a significant predictive value on satisfaction with memory and subjective memory complaints. We failed to find a relationship between perceived subjective memory functioning and objective cognitive performance. Besides anxiety, only the executive functions predicted significantly the frequency of internal strategy use.
conclusionIn conclusion, we revealed that negative affective states are more pronounced in the satisfaction with memory and subjective memory complaints in young adults than the objective cognitive ability.
