Development of color learning protocol based on music-color association for people with visual impairment.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2025. 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
backgroundThis research developed and confirmed the feasibility of a color-learning mobile application for people with visual impairment based on the hypothesis that the music-color association may be synaesthetically induced through emotion.
methodsIn total, 120 participants with visual impairment, comprising 60 congenital and 60 adventitious cases, were recruited. They underwent sequential procedures: Procedure 1 involved selecting color-music associations and designing tasks; Procedure 2 focused on application development with accessibility features; and Procedure 3 verified usability and effectiveness.
resultsSignificant improvements were observed in hue, luminance, and saturation scores following the use of the music-color association application among participants with both congenital and adventitious visual impairment. The effectiveness of the application in facilitating color learning is evident, suggesting its potential utility in enhancing color perception in this population.
conclusionsThis research introduces a novel framework for color learning among visually impaired individuals using a music-based synesthetic approach. The developed mobile application offers a promising avenue for efficiently improving color perception and learning, thereby addressing the critical need for accessibility and education for this population. Further research should explore the long-term effects and broader applications of synesthetic-induced learning in diverse contexts.
