The impact of reminiscent music therapy and robot-assisted rehabilitation on older stroke patients: a protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Background: Stroke is the main disease that causes the burden of neurological disease, leading to upper limb dysfunction and affecting their self-care abilities. Robot-assisted rehabilitation therapy has been gradually used in the rehabilitation of upper limb function after stroke. However, it would be beneficial to explore auxiliary interventions such as reminiscent music therapy, a combination of music and reminiscent, to relieve negative emotions and post-stroke fatigue and improve rehabilitation outcomes. This protocol aims to evaluate the effectiveness of reminiscent music therapy combined with robot-assisted rehabilitation in older stroke patients. Methods: This trial is a single-blind, three-arm randomized controlled trial. Older stroke patients with upper limb dysfunction will be recruited. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive usual rehabilitation treatment and care, usual rehabilitation treatment and care plus robot-assisted rehabilitation and reminiscent music therapy, or usual rehabilitation treatment and care plus robot-assisted rehabilitation. Robot-assisted rehabilitation will be conducted by rehabilitation doctors five times per week for 3 weeks. In experimental group 1, a reminiscent song list will be played for patients. The primary outcome is activities of daily living. All outcomes will be evaluated at baseline and in the week immediately post-intervention. Discussion: We are conducting the first randomized controlled trial on the effects of reminiscent music therapy combined with robot-assisted rehabilitation in older stroke patients. It is expected that this study, if proven effective in improving the activities of daily living in older stroke patients with upper limb dysfunction, will provide evidence-based rehabilitation strategies for medical staff.
