Digital music intervention and music therapy across the dementia care continuum: Randomized controlled trial.

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
introductionMusic interventions show promise in dementia care and digital approaches may increase availability and accessibility. We investigated the efficacy of a digital music intervention (DMI) and conventional music therapy (CMT) compared to standard care (SC) across the dementia care continuum.
methodsIn an exploratory parallel-group randomized controlled trial, community-dwelling (HOME,
resultsNo significant effects of CMT or DMI were found for primary general cognition outcomes in primary or sensitivity analyses. Across exploratory secondary outcomes, compared to SC, CMT improved naming (T1-T2) and verbal learning (T1-T3) in the whole sample and executive function in HOME (T1-T2). Compared to a decline in SC, prompted autobiographical memory was maintained by DMI and CMT in the whole sample (T1-T2) and by DMI in CARE (T1-T2). Sensitivity analyses largely supported these findings. No significant differences were observed between DMI and CMT. DISCUSSION: CMT and DMI did not yield effects on primary general cognition outcomes. CMT showed modest but coherent effects on exploratory secondary cognitive outcomes across the dementia care continuum. The only exploratory secondary finding for DMI was maintenance of autobiographical memory against a decline in SC. These findings support existing evidence yet call for further research to optimize interventions.
