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

Persistent vocalizations (PVs) are a common behavioral symptom of dementia. There are currently no known studies examining physiological measurement in nursing home (NH) residents with dementia exhibiting PVs. Measures of heart rate (HR) could provide objective evidence of a person's response to a disruption in their internal or external environment. This was a two-case observational study involving NH residents with advanced dementia. HRs were collected via a sensor belt. We found a 39-45 bpm increase in HRs in both participants when comparing a day without PVs to a day exhibiting PVs. This is the first study to demonstrate a change in HR associated with PVs and potential evidence of stress in the person in response to either an internal or external stimuli.
