Effect of delay interval and cue focality on prospective memory.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. 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
backgroundProspective memory refers to the ability to perform planned things in the appropriate future situations. Due to pointing towards the future, prospective memory usually has a certain amount of time delay. This study investigated the impact of a delay interval on prospective memory under different cue focality conditions and used the multinomial processing tree model to determine which component of prospective memory was affected.
methodsParticipants were assigned to 2-back delay group, no task delay group, or no-delay group, and then assigned to perform either focal prospective memory tasks or non-focal prospective memory tasks.
resultsThe results showed that, compared to the non-delay group and no task delay group, participants in the 2-back delay group exhibited worse prospective memory performance, but better ongoing task performance after the delay interval task. The multinomial processing tree model analysis showed that the delay interval only affected the prospective component of prospective memory and had no impact on the retrospective component.
conclusionsThe results indicate that delay intervals affect the accuracy of prospective memory under different cue focality conditions. Meanwhile, delay intervals only impair the prospective component of prospective memory.
