Music to Their Ears: Reducing Antipsychotic Use With a Personalized Music Intervention for Rural Veterans.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 This project investigates a music intervention to deprescribe antipsychotics in rural Veterans with dementia. Methods The Veterans Health Administration Home-Based Primary Care Program is care provided in the home by an interdisciplinary team with the goals of decreasing hospitalizations and falls, providing education to patients and caregivers, and improving quality of life. Eighteen Home Based Primary Care Veterans with dementia and active antipsychotic prescriptions were identified with the goal to deprescribe antipsychotics in 50% of them using a music intervention. Individualized playlists and assessments for Veteran quality of life and caregiver burden were evaluated. Phone visits tracked music utilization and captured the voice of the customer. Results Antipsychotic dose reduction occurred in five of eight Veterans, totaling eight dose reductions and one discontinuation. Veteran quality of life improved; however, caregiver burden increased initially. The caregiver burden did improve when an outlier was removed. The voice of the customer favored music intervention. Conclusions A personalized music intervention is a feasible approach for reducing antipsychotic use in rural Veterans, improving quality of life, and potentially reducing caregiver burden.
