Evaluating the role of visit audio recordings in triadic dementia care: study protocol.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 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
backgroundEffective interpersonal communication is associated with improved health-related outcomes, yet it is unclear to what extent this occurs in triadic clinic visits for persons living with dementia (PLWD) and few tools exist to characterize triadic interpersonal communication and assess its effectiveness. The objective of this project is to characterize the interpersonal communication that occurs during triadic visits for PLWD, examine how interpersonal communication is related to health outcomes and use this understanding to adapt an innovative clinic visit audio recording intervention, HealthPAL (Personal Audio Library) for use in this setting.
methodsFollowing the NIH Stage Model, we will redesign a visit recording platform, HealthPAL, which leverages natural language processing to structure visit information. In Aim 1, we will use an explanatory sequential mixed methods design. Informed by the Behavior Change Wheel, targets for behavior change will be identified using quantitative assessment of interpersonal communication during triadic visits (200 dyads, 3 visits annually; ∼600 visits), supplemented by semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of triads (n = 42); In Aim 2, we will use participatory design methods (n = 60) to redesign HealthPAL using findings from Aim 1; and in Aim 3, we will use an open label, single-arm, multi-site pilot trial (n = 30) to determine usability, feasibility and acceptability of HealthPAL and gather preliminary data on its impact on interpersonal communication in triadic AD/ADRD visits. We hypothesize: (1) Constructs from models of interpersonal communication will be associated with health-related outcomes; (2) HealthPAL will surpass usability, feasibility, and acceptability metrics for dyads and clinicians. DISCUSSION: This work is a necessary first step to improving PLWD triadic care by identifying behaviors that impact triadic interpersonal communication and their associations with health-related outcomes. The novel intervention that we will develop--the use of visit recordings--and the diverse and extensive data we will collect will serve as a unique resource that can be leveraged to address other gaps in clinical knowledge related to the care of PLWD.
