   Hard to separate the memorability of the abstract from the underlying material.

   IMO the most memorable papers contain some unexpected simplification: a complicated problem turns out to reduce to something much simpler [0], perhaps for a counterintuitive reason [1].

   So a memorable abstract should advertise that the paper contains some cute little trick. This may not help you actually publish though
