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

Subjective vividness and emotional salience of memory are relatively preserved in aging, regardless of objective memory decline. Nuances in memory strategy, like older adults' reliance more on semantic details and less on perceptual information, may contribute to lower memory precision but higher accounts of memory vividness, which can be enhanced by emotional salience. It remains unclear to what degree low-level continuous stimulus features of memory quality are altered by emotion in aging and whether these alterations contribute to subjective memory vividness. Here, we tested the impact of older age on emotional memory quality and vividness using an established emotional memory task in a sample of older (
