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

We examined how emotional motivation of background stimuli and prospective memory (PM) targets, along with cognitive control, jointly influence the PM aftereffects using a repetitive PM cue paradigm. Experiment 1 revealed that high background avoidance motivation inhibited PM aftereffects, whereas the combination of background approach motivation and target avoidance motivation enhanced PM aftereffects—indicating that emotional motivation modulates PM aftereffects by regulating cue salience and cognitive resource consumption. Experiment 2 showed that focal cues exerted a stronger inhibitory effect on PM aftereffects, while focal cues paired with incongruent background-irrelevant stimuli enhanced PM aftereffects—demonstrating that cognitive control regulates PM aftereffects through cognitive resource availability. The above results indicate that: (1) The generation mechanism of PM aftereffects aligns with the modified dual mechanism theory, involving spontaneous retrieval and strategic monitoring processes that are dynamically shaped by emotional motivation and cognitive control. (2) The reactivation and deactivation of completed intentions constitute a dynamic continuum, jointly modulated by emotional and cognitive factors, with cognitive resource availability serving as a critical mediator.
