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

Music-based interventions are a common feature in long-term care with clinical reports highlighting music's ability to engage individuals with complex diagnoses. While these findings are promising, normative findings from healthy controls are needed to disambiguate treatment effects unique to pathology and those seen in healthy aging. The present study examines brain network dynamics during music listening in a sample of healthy older adults before and after a music-based intervention. We found intervention effects from hidden Markov model-estimated fMRI network data. Following the intervention, participants demonstrated greater occupancy (the amount of time a network was occupied) in a temporal-mesolimbic network. We conclude that network dynamics in healthy older adults are sensitive to music-based interventions. We discuss these findings' implications for future studies with individuals with neurodegeneration.
