Factors associated with delirium after cardiac surgery: A prospective cohort study.
Article in Annals of cardiac anaesthesia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
Background: Delirium is a frequent complication after cardiac surgery and is associated with a higher incidence of morbidity and mortality and a prolonged hospital stay. However, knowledge of the variables involved in its occurrence is still limited; therefore, in this study, we evaluated the perioperative risk factors independently associated with this complication. Methods: This study was conducted in a referral tertiary care university hospital with a cardiovascular focus. A total of 311 consecutive adult patients undergoing any type of cardiac surgery were evaluated. The subjects were examined at regular intervals in the postoperative period using the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) tool. Results: The incidence of postoperative delirium (PD) was 10%. Among the 18 pre-, intra- and postoperative variables evaluated, the logistic regression analysis showed that low education level, history of diabetes or stroke, type of surgery, prolonged extracorporeal circulation, or red blood cell transfusion in the intra- or postoperative period were independently associated with delirium after cardiac surgery. An increased body mass index was identified as a protective factor. Conclusions: The aforementioned risk factors are significantly and independently associated with the presentation of PD. Because some of these factors can be treated or avoided, the results of this study are highly relevant to reduce the risk of this complication and improve the care of patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
