Incidence and Risk Factors of Delirium in the Intensive Care Unit: A Prospective Cohort.
Article in BioMed research international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to determine the incidence, risk factors, and impact of delirium on outcomes in ICU patients. In addition, the scoring systems were measured consecutively to characterize how these scores changed with time in patients with and without delirium.
resultsDelirium occurred in 108 (27%) patients during their ICU stay, and the median onset of delirium was 4 (IQR 3-4) days after admission. According to multivariate cox regression, the expected hazard for delirium was 1.523 times higher in patients who used mechanical ventilator as compared to those who did not (HR: 1.523, 95% CI: 1.197-2.388,
conclusionOur findings suggest that an important opportunity for improving the care of critically ill patients may be the determination of modifiable risk factors for delirium in the ICU. In addition, the scoring systems (APACHE IV, SOFA, and RASS) are useful for the prediction of delirium in critically ill patients.
