Voice Assistants to Deliver Cognitive Stimulation Therapy for Persons Living with Dementia.
Article in Extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems. CHI Conference. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Dementia is a global public health concern, with approximately 55 million individuals worldwide currently living with it. Individual cognitive stimulation therapy (iCST) has been shown to improve quality of life for persons living with dementia (PLwDs). However, providing iCST at scale remains a serious challenge, specifically as it can add considerable burden on care partners. This project focuses on a voice assistant (VA) to support care partners in delivering iCST. We developed a VA prototype and conducted a qualitative study with care partners (N=5). Our preliminary findings show that using a VA to deliver iCST is feasible and acceptable. We have also identified design requirements for the VA to effectively provide iCST, including need for personalization reflecting dementia severity and individual interests, collaboration between care partners and PLwDs, and accessible interactions to minimize frustration and distress. These findings can inform the future design of inclusive and accessible VAs.
