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

backgroundStudies suggest that individualized music listening is an effective, non-pharmacological intervention for improving the quality of life of people with dementia in the institutional care setting. Noting that most people with dementia live at home, we conduct a randomized controlled trial to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of an app-based individualized music listening intervention for people with dementia in the home care setting. The intervention is delivered by family caregivers.

methodsWe will recruit N = 130 dyads consisting of one person with dementia living at home and their family caregiver. After a baseline assessment, dyads are randomly assigned by gender to either the intervention or control group. People with dementia in the intervention group listen to individualized music playlists for 20 min every other day for six weeks via the self-developed Individualized Music and Dementia app. The control group receives standard care. All dyads complete paper-and-pencil questionnaires six weeks before the start of the intervention (T0), directly before the intervention (T1), directly after the intervention (T2), and six weeks later (T3). During the intervention period, all caregivers also complete daily ecological momentary assessments via the app. During three home visits, a trained project member will observe the dyads and collect hair samples. After the intervention, semi-structured interviews will be conducted to collect information about participants' experiences with the app and intervention. The primary outcome is the attainment of individual goals established during the baseline assessment. Secondary outcomes are the well-being, physiological stress and quality of life of people with dementia and their caregivers; people with dementia's behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia, resistance during care, and reactions to the music; caregivers' burden of care, positive aspects of care, and caregiving self-efficacy; and the quality of the caregiver-care recipient interaction. DISCUSSION: Our study will assess the extent to which an app-based individualized music listening intervention is feasible and effective for enhancing the well-being and quality of life of people with dementia living at home and their family caregivers.
