Assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on recognition and testimony memory: differential effects in young and older adults.

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.

Given the strong association between emotional states, sleep quality, and memory, the pandemic provided a unique context to investigate how stress influences episodic memory across age groups. We hypothesized that the typical memory advantage of younger adults would be diminished, or even reversed, relative to the performance of older adults on different memory tasks. A total of 159 participants from Buenos Aires were recruited and divided into independent samples. Younger adults during the pandemic (
