Usability of Behavioural Recording Application (BRA) for Coping With Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia.
Article in Psychogeriatrics : the official journal of the Japanese Psychogeriatric Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
This study developed the Behavior Recording Application (BRA) based on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to support non-pharmacological interventions for Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD), and examined its usability among care professionals. Thirty-one care staff members from elderly care facilities in Japan used the application during ABA-based consultations and evaluated its usability using a 10-item Likert scale. While overall ease of use was rated positively, differences were observed in participants' willingness to use it regularly and in their perception of how much they needed to learn to use it effectively. Stepwise multiple regression analysis using the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) identified age, caregiving experience, and digital device usage as significant predictors of usability. These findings suggest that although BRA demonstrates good usability, additional support may be necessary for care professionals of advanced age, with less experience, or with limited digital proficiency.
