I learned about these as an editor (and when I edit for someone, I use them) to help track things through a novel. While it doesn't exactly pertain to crits, it can help someone who wants to read through someone else's novel and comment on it in a number of ways:
It gives you a quick refresher of what you already read: who the characters are, the events, terms, etc.
It helps you see the progression of a story line.
And it helps you see where there are sudden unexplained changes or subplots that get dropped you may not otherwise notice when doing a chapter by chapter critiquing process.
Do you have to use one of these? Nope. But I post it in case someone finds it useful:
