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

Episodic memory is contextual memory linking temporal, spatial, emotional, and self-referential contexts. In this review, we placed particular emphasis on the emotional context because of its nexus with chronic pain effects. Psychological (e.g., depression, anxiety, stress, & loneliness) and medical (neurological, cardiovascular, chronic pain) conditions can adversely affect episodic memory. Furthermore, individual differences in emotional/affective experience as represented by trait personality variables (e.g., conscientiousness, openness to experience, introversion, extraversion, and neuroticism) can either facilitate or harm episodic memory performance. This paper aims to review episodic memory, its associated attention and executive function co-processes, the modulation of memory function as a result of affective experiences as represented by trait personality, and how coping mechanisms can serve as a buffer to maintain episodic memory function using Chiari malformation Type I (a chronic pain syndrome) as a model. Finally, allostatic load and pharmacological effects of pain medications on episodic memory are discussed.
