Understanding the return journey: Determinants of route retracing in younger and older adults.
Article in Psychology and aging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Route retracing (i.e., returning to your start location) is critical for successful navigation in everyday life. While age-related impairment in traversing a route from a start location to target destination has been well-established, age differences in the ability to reverse a previously learned path has been less examined. Previous work found that studying a map facilitates better route retracing for older adults than studying a route from an egocentric perspective during initial learning. However, the mechanism for this benefit is unclear. This study examined whether facilitating allocentric representation, egocentric perspective taking, or temporal sequencing would benefit route retracing performance in younger (
