Prior meta-analyses of AAT and PRT on BPSD in dementia have reported conflicting results.
“Currently, several meta-analyses have evaluated the efficacy of AAT (Zafra-Tanaka et al., 2019; Batubara et al., 2022; Chen et al., 2022) and PRT (Leng et al., 2019; Lu et al., 2021; Ong et al., 2021) on BPSD in dementia, but reported conflicting results.”

Three meta-analyses focusing on AAT revealed that AAT had no effect on cognitive function, agitation and QoL but had a positive effect on depression in patients with dementia.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
