A 12-week cluster randomized controlled trial of the effectiveness of an AI-aided DICE algorithm for BPSD management in low-resource settings: a study protocol.

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: The "Describe-Investigate-Create-Evaluate" (DICE) approach has been considered a guide for managing behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). However, limited resources may limit the implementation of the DICE approach. With the development of AI technology, the effectiveness of the AI-aided DICE algorithm for BPSD management has yet to be determined. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effectiveness of the AI-aided DICE algorithm for managing BPSD in low-resource settings. Methods: The cluster randomized controlled trial will be conducted in 12 medical facilities where geriatric psychiatrists are not fully installed. One hundred eighty-four persons with mild and moderate BPSD will be enrolled and randomized to the AI-aided DICE group (n=92) and usual care group (n=92). In the AI-aided DICE group, all participants will receive a comprehensive assessment on a digital triage platform to identify individualized needs and target symptoms, be prescribed a personalized management plan based on the AI-aided decision process, be monitor the implementation of the management plan, and receive follow-up assessment to evaluate the effectiveness. The neuropsychiatric inventory questionnaire and caregiver burden inventory will measure primary and secondary outcomes. The study duration for each participant will be 12 weeks. Discussion: The study will examine the effectiveness of the AI-aided DICE algorithm for managing BPSD in low-resource settings. The findings will support the implementation of an AI-aided algorithm and leverage the practice of quality care for dementia.
