Individualized Music Playlist Based on Iso-Principle for De-Escalating Agitation of People With Dementia: A Randomized Controlled Feasibility Study.
Trial report in International journal of geriatric psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesTo evaluate the feasibility of the Individualized Music Playlist based on Iso-Principle for de-escalating agitation of people with dementia and provide preliminary evidence about its efficacy.
methodsThe randomized participants listened to either a 30-min music playlist or a book-reading audio script twice weekly for six weeks, and when agitation occurred. Their agitation level was observed every 5 min from the beginning of an agitation episode for an hour to monitor its trajectory over a 2-week period. Multilevel models with maximum likelihood analysis was conducted. The frequency of agitation and other behavioural symptoms was assessed at baseline and the 6th week and analysed with Generalized Estimating Equations.
resultsTwenty-four participants were recruited, and 10 presented 36 agitation episodes during the first two weeks of observation. The recruitment and retention rates were 85.7% and 83.3%, respectively. A total of 97.2% of the intervention and control conditions were delivered as planned. The intervention was not more effective than the control condition in de-escalating agitation or reducing agitation and other behavioural symptoms. Overall, agitation symptoms were apparently alleviated in the first 10 min, with a decelerated pace observed thereafter.
conclusionsThe intervention was feasible, and its efficacy in de-escalating agitation is yet to be confirmed.
