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

Narratives fundamentally shape the way we remember real-life experiences. However, neuroscientists have only begun to understand how narratives impact the way our brains support memory. In this opinion piece, I illustrate how the hippocampus, a key region of the brain for memory, transforms our experiences into larger narratives in memory. Furthermore, I argue that the hippocampus provides a biological basis for "intertextuality" - that is, all experiences or texts may be necessarily understood and remembered in relation to other experiences or texts. An intertextual hippocampus has tangible consequences for our lives and our art.
