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

Our memories for personally experienced events are essential to who we are and what we do, yet methodological constraints have limited our ability to sample these real-world memories in the real world. The pervasive use of smartphones and wearable technology provides new opportunities to capture these events in the moment and in the wild. These new opportunities also come with new considerations for the design and analysis of memory experiments. Gathering lessons across forays into smartphone-based memory capture in our three laboratories, this Perspective aims to highlight important decision points, consider pros and cons of different approaches, and provide some tips and tricks to help researchers explore the wilds of smartphone-based memory.
