Effects on intrusive memories of playing Tetris with or without simultaneous and deliberate memory recall.
Article in Journal of traumatic stress, 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
Two interventions that tax visuospatial working memory (WM) may reduce intrusive memories despite differing procedurally: playing Tetris with or without memory recall. Accordingly, this study examined how engagement with negative memories influences intrusion frequency (Experiment 1) and WM load (Experiment 2). In Experiment 1 (N = 90), participants viewed a trauma film and were assigned to Tetris without memory recall, Tetris with memory recall, or a no-task control condition. Participants rated memory vividness and unpleasantness before and after the intervention and recorded film-related intrusions in a diary for 1 week. In Experiment 2 (N = 45), a reaction time task assessed whether brief memory reactivation (as used in the Tetris without memory recall condition) or concurrent, deliberate recall (as used in the Tetris with memory recall condition) differentially taxed WM. Experiment 1 showed that the Tetris with memory recall task led to the largest reductions in memory vividness, η
