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

Objective: Exploring the effects of combination of nostalgic activity-based therapies, including music therapy on cognitive function, negative emotions, and sleep quality in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.

They were randomly divided into a study group ( Results: A total of 30 cases from each group completed the study. After 12 weeks of intervention, the MMSE and MOCA scores of both groups of patients increased, and the treatment group was higher than the control group ( Conclusion: Nostalgic music therapy can improve cognitive function, alleviate negative emotions, and improve sleep quality in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
