The correlation of intraoperative hypotension and postoperative cognitive impairment: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Synthesis in BMC anesthesiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04963036 (Impact of Nociception Level), which is not on this map. Cited by 31 papers, 4 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.

Abstract
backgroundThere is no consensus on whether intraoperative hypotension is associated with postoperative cognitive impairment. Hence, we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the correlation of intraoperative hypotension and the incidence of postoperative delirium (POD) or postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD).
methodsWe searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases to find randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in which reported the relationship between intraoperative hypotension and POD or POCD. The retrieval time is up to January 2020, without language restrictions. Quality assessment of the eligible studies was conducted by two researchers independently with the Cochrane evaluation system.
resultsWe analyzed five eligible RCTs. Based on the relative mean arterial pressure (MAP), participants were divided into low-target and high-target groups. For the incidence of POD, there were two studies with 99 participants in the low-target group and 94 participants in the high-target pressure group. For the incidence of POCD, there were four studies involved 360 participants in the low-target group and 341 participants in the high-target group, with a study assessed both POD and POCD. No significant difference between the low-target and the high-target group was observed in the incidence of POD (RR = 3.30, 95% CI 0.80 to 13.54, P = 0.10), or POCD (RR = 1.26, 95% CI 0.76 to 2.08, P = 0.37). Furthermore, it also demonstrates that intraoperative hypotension prolonged the length of ICU stay, but did not increased the mortality, the length of hospital stay, and mechanical ventilation (MV) time.
conclusionsThere is no significant correlation between intraoperative hypotension and the incidence of POD or POCD.
