Differential contributions of working memory and inhibitory control to prospective memory detection and retrieval.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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
Background: Prospective memory (PM)-remembering to carry out intended actions at the right moment - depends on executive control, but the specific contributions of working memory and inhibitory control to PM cue detection versus intention retrieval remain debated. Methods: Eighty-four adults (44 action video game players, 40 non-players) aged 18-45 completed a within-subjects PM paradigm with separate detection and retrieval conditions, along with measures of working memory (digit span forward/backward, Corsi block), inhibitory control (Stroop interference), and nonverbal reasoning (Raven's Colored Progressive Matrices). Multiple regression and a stacked long-format model with cluster-robust standard errors tested predictor-outcome associations and their interaction with PM component. Results: Backward digit span (executive working memory) was a significant positive predictor of PM detection ( Conclusion: Working memory was selectively associated with the detection phase of PM, providing partial support for multiprocess accounts in which different executive mechanisms are differentially recruited across PM phases. The role of inhibitory control was less phase-specific. Modest action video game experience does not confer measurable PM advantages.
