Walking through doorways helps remembering, but not for long.
Article in Memory & cognition, 2026. 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
The structure of events in which information has been learned can meaningfully impact memory, particularly for information that is encountered near an event boundary. Prior work has shown that separating a list of words into multiple events can improve later memory, suggesting that event structure could be leveraged for a benefit. That is, using event structure can help chunk a large set of information into more manageable units. Our aim was to replicate a prior finding that dividing a list of words to be learned in two rooms would improve later performance. Our results revealed that across two experiments, there was little evidence that memory was better when words were learned across two rooms rather than one. This did occur in one experiment, but only for words around the event boundary. However, this effect quickly dissipated after a short post-learning delay when a person moved through other rooms prior to testing.
