Music-based interventions in the acute setting for patients with dementia: a systematic review.
Synthesis in European geriatric medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe utilization of non-pharmacological interventions is increasingly recommended in dementia care. Among them, Music-based interventions seem promising options, according with numerous positive studies conducted in long-term care institutions. In this review, we aim to investigate its administration to patients with dementia in a less-researched setting-the acute hospital.
methodsA systematic review (PROSPERO registration: 81698), according to PRISMA recommendations, was performed. Embase, PubMed, PsycINFO, ASSIA and Humanities Index were searched from first records to June 2019 and the search was updated in June 2020. Manual screening of journals, trial registries and grey literature was undertaken. Risk of bias was assessed with the Downs and Black (1998) checklist.
results345 records were initially retrieved and nine complied with the inclusion criteria. Data on 246 acute inpatients (224 PwD), with a mean age (reported only in 4 studies) varying from 74.1 to 86.5 was presented. Interventions varied significantly and practical details of their administration and development were poorly reported. Overall, quantitative results indicate a trend towards a positive effect in well-being, mood, engagement/relationship and global cognitive function, as well as a reduction in BPSD, resistive care, utilization of pro re nata medication and one-on-one care. Qualitative data also demonstrates acceptability and positive effects of music-based interventions.
conclusionDespite the lack of robust, adequately powered and controlled trials, identified studies suggest it is feasible to deliver music-based interventions, in the acute setting, to patients with dementia and there is a trend towards positive effects.
