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
Successful encoding of a navigational episode entails the dynamic processing of perceptual information, time-locked to the appearance of salient landmarks and turns along the way. We hypothesized that identical navigational experiences will be represented in a similar manner across individuals and that a deviation from such canonical dynamics in the cortico-hippocampal network may underlie differences in navigational memory across individuals and its decline in aging. 76 participants (42 females) across two age groups (young: 20-30 years, aging: 50-65 years) watched 24 different 1-minute-long first-person-view virtual navigation videos in the fMRI scanner, followed by a memory question about the traveled path or destination. Canonical dynamics were defined as the averaged neural dynamics across participants during the navigation period for each brain region. First, we found that individual-to-canonical similarity (ICS) was highest in the dorsal/ventral visual streams and precuneus and was linked to informative navigational events, such as turning or landmark viewing. ICS in the medial temporal lobe (MTL) and the coordinated activity between the hippocampus and canonical cortical dynamics were strongly associated with individual spatial memory performance. Moreover, a reduction in the intersubject functional connectivity between the MTL and the canonical cortical dynamics mediated the effects of aging on cognitive performance, highlighting its role in navigation and episodic memory. Complementary to traditional time-averaged activation measures, canonical neural dynamics may be particularly revealing of how the brain processes information across spatiotemporally extended events.
