Moderators of Adherence Within a Nursing Home Pragmatic Trial of Personalized Music.
Trial report in The Gerontologist, 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesTo describe factors affecting nursing home adherence in an embedded pragmatic randomized controlled trial of a personalized music intervention to manage agitation in residents living with dementia. RESEARCH DESIGN AND
methodsSemistructured qualitative interviews with 4 corporate leaders and 27 nursing home staff. We used thematic analysis to develop a codebook and map findings to potential adherence moderators in the Conceptual Framework for Implementation Fidelity (CFIF): recruitment, participant responsiveness, strategies to facilitate implementation, intervention complexity, quality of delivery, and context.
resultsRecruitment: Corporate leaders noted research participation compensation did support corporate implementation. Resident turnover frequently occurred and led to delays in implementation due to the need to personalize music to each resident. Participant responsiveness (dose received): Interviewees noted the intervention improved dementia behaviors and enhanced engagement with exceptions. Strategies to facilitate implementation: Interviewees voiced differing views on whether nurses or activities staff should lead implementation and how to pilot the program. Intervention complexity: Interviewees described complexities including tailoring delivery to each resident, updating music, and sustainability concerns. Quality of delivery: Champions discussed protocol deviations; for example, providing residents with music that was not personalized. Context: Interviewees noted how the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic exacerbated turnover, but the intervention did engage residents during staffing shortages. DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: Interviewees described contextual barriers associated with pragmatic implementation of a personalized music intervention. While they also described facilitators, our findings highlight limits to pragmatic delivery in nursing homes with chronic under-resourcing and staffing, exacerbated by the pandemic.
