1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Emerging studies suggest that time-dependent consolidation enables memory stabilization by promoting memory integration and hippocampal-cortical transfer. Compared to massed learning, how time-dependent consolidation contributes to forming durable memory and what neural signatures predict durable memory in spaced learning remain unclear. We recruited 48 participants who underwent either 3-day spaced learning or 1-day massed learning, and both resting-state and task-based fMRI data were collected in multiple delayed tests (i.e., immediate, 1-week, and 1-month). We use representational similarity analysis to assess neural integration and replay in the hippocampus and default mode network (DMN) subsystems. In contrast with massed learning, spaced learning induces higher neural pattern similarity during immediate retrieval only in DMN subsystems. Particularly, the neural pattern similarity in the dorsal-medial DMN (DMN
