Perception of Therapeutic Music in Community Settings.
Article in Global advances in integrative medicine and health. 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
Background: Therapeutic music has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, while boosting mood and overall well-being in numerous settings. Building on the success of Vanderbilt University Medical Center's (VUMC) Therapeutic Music Program, and in collaboration with AARP Tennessee and the Blair School of Music at Vanderbilt, a community-based therapeutic music program was introduced, focusing on community assisted living centers and Veteran audiences. Objective: To evaluate the experience and perceptions of Veteran and senior citizens to live therapeutic music performances in order to guide future program development and music selection. Methods: Performances were held at a local Veterans Affairs Medical Center and assisted living facilities, involving 42 participants. Student musicians performed music pieces with violin, piano, saxophone, and vocals. After each performance, audience members completed an anonymous survey. Results: Survey results revealed that 93% (n = 39) of participants recognized music as a significant or moderately significant part of their lives. Most participants enjoyed a wide variety of instruments and genres (60%, N = 24). Participants appreciated the live performance, vocal pieces, and the atmosphere it created. Conclusions: Data on preferred genres and instruments can guide the selection of musicians for other therapeutic programs. Furthermore, insights into the most enjoyable parts of the performance can inform customization of future music performances to help better address the needs of different audiences.
