Frequency and predictors of post-stroke delirium in PRospective Observational POLIsh Study (PROPOLIS).
Observational study in Journal of neurology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 6 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
Delirium is the most common and serious neurobehavioral complication in acute hospital admissions. Some patients develop signs of delirium but do not meet all diagnostic criteria. Stroke is a major risk factor for delirium. The aim of this prospective study was to build a predictive model for delirium and subsyndromal post-stroke delirium. Patients with stroke were screened for delirium during the first 7 days after admission. Delirium was diagnosed according to DSM-V criteria. Baseline demographic, biochemical, stroke-related data, medications used, neurological deficit, and premorbid cognitive and functional impairment were assessed. 750 consecutive stroke patients (71.75 ± 13.13 years) were recruited; 203 (27.07%) had delirium. In predictive model for delirium MoCA score and white blood count on admission, neglect, vision deficits, physical impairment, and higher comorbidity prior to stroke had the highest predictive value. Subsyndromal delirium was diagnosed in 60 patients. MoCA score and potassium level on admission, and urinary tract infection during hospitalization had the highest predictive value for its development. Delirium occurs in one-fourth of admissions due to stroke; subsyndromal delirium is less prevalent and affects less than one per ten patients. The hyperactive form is the most rare type of delirium. The factors best predicting delirium are easily assessed in everyday practice and their co-occurrence in patients with stroke should alert the treating physician of high risk of delirium.
