Impact of delirium on patients hospitalized for myocardial infarction: A propensity score analysis of the National Inpatient Sample.
Article in Clinical cardiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundDelirium is associated with worse outcomes in critically ill patients. In the subset of patients with myocardial infarction (MI), the impact on clinical outcomes of delirium is not as well elucidated. HYPOTHESIS: Delirium is associated with increased mortality in patients hospitalized for MI.
methodsThe study used data from the National Inpatient Sample 2012 to 2014, Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project. We included discharges associated with the primary diagnosis of MI using the relevant International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes. The outcome was inpatient mortality between the delirium group and propensity score-matched controls without delirium.
resultsThe study included 1 330 020 weighted discharges with MI as the principal diagnosis. Within this cohort, 18 685 discharges (1.4%) had delirium. Delirium was associated with older age, lower rates of percutaneous coronary intervention, and increased comorbid conditions. The delirium group had higher mortality (10.5% vs 2.6%, P < 0.001). Propensity score-matching analysis showed increased mortality in the delirium group (10.5% vs 7.6%, relative risk: 1.39 [95% confidence interval: 1.2-1.6, P < 0.001) using nearest neighbor 1:1 matching.
conclusionsIn individuals with MI, delirium was associated with increased inpatient mortality.
