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

objectiveThe present study provides normative data for adapted versions of the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) and the Logical Memory subtest from the Wechsler Memory Scales - 3rd edition (WMS-III-LM), involving both recall and recognition procedures after a 2-week delay to assess accelerated long-term forgetting (ALF). The study also aims to achieve a clinical validation of these tests in a group of people with epilepsy (PWE).

methodsA total of 124 (18-55 years old) healthy participants and 30 PWE undergoing presurgical monitoring for drug-resistant seizures completed these tasks. Associations between memory performance and sociodemographic, neuropsychological function, and testing factors were examined among healthy participants. Memory performance was compared between healthy and PWE groups, with special attention to forgetting rates over 2 weeks as a measure of long-term consolidation.

resultsContrarily to raw recall and recognition performance, forgetting rates over 2 weeks were not significantly modulated by age or sex. As expected, higher forgetting rates and a greater prevalence of ALF were found among PWE compared with healthy participants on both tests. SIGNIFICANCE: This study offers useful normative data to assess ALF in PWE and provides clinical evidence that our adapted tests can identify long-term consolidation impairments in this population.
