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

Improved memory after prompted retrieval, also known as the testing effect, is evidenced in adults to support long term memory, but rarely examined in children in pre-school or with intellectual disabilities, such as Down syndrome (DS). This study examined episodic memory across one-month, manipulating the presentation of episodic information to compare testing versus restudy of arbitrary event sequences, and the effect of sleep variables. Retrieval rates were compared at 5-minute and one-month delays in 52 children with DS (aged 6-18, 27 male, 24 White) compared to 59 children with typical development (aged 3-7, 23 male, 35 White). A single test improved recall in the DS group over long term delays, this is a novel finding and relevant to real-life and classroom experiences.
