Meta-Analysis of Music Intervention Effects on Consciousness Levels in 296 Patients

A meta-analysis document reviewing seven controlled studies on the effect of music intervention on arousal promotion in patients with disorders of consciousness. The analysis includes data from 296 patients across four randomized controlled trials and three non-randomized studies. The document was authored by Jiayi Gu and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Conducting a systematic review on music therapy outcomes based on the described search of five databases.
• Performing sensitivity analysis on study heterogeneity based on intervention type and duration as described in the results.
• Assessing the quality of evidence for clinical interventions using the GRADE certainty rating mentioned in the document.

Strengths

• Includes a quantitative meta-analysis with a standardized mean difference (SMD = 1.51) and confidence intervals.
• Systematically reviewed seven studies comprising 296 patients, providing a defined sample size.
• Used Cochrane RoB 2.0 and ROBINS-I tools for risk of bias assessment, indicating a structured methodology.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 34.6 KB DOCX file, which is a very small document likely containing only the analysis text and summary statistics.
• Row count and column-level data are unknown; the file does not appear to contain the underlying patient-level or study-level data.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
