Rich autobiographical memory recall benefits from both novelty and similarity to other daily experiences.
Article in Research square, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Much existing laboratory research has shown that both novelty and prior knowledge benefit episodic memory, however they do so through differing mechanisms. Critically, autobiographical experiences are rarely completely novel or congruent with prior experience, existing somewhere within this spectrum of 'absolute' novelty to 'absolute' congruency. A prospective real-world autobiographical event sampling study was conducted to investigate this spectrum. We analyzed different types of novelty and how they predicted different episodic memory outcomes. We found that, although events that were participant-labeled as being 'new' were later remembered with greater vividness compared to 'periodic' and 'routine' events, 'new' events that were more semantically
