[Nonpharmaceutical concepts for prevention and treatment of delirium].
Review in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundCognitive impairment is common among older patients in German hospitals (40%). Dementia, other brain diseases and frailty significantly increase the risk of delirium and pose great challenges to interdisciplinary and interprofessional teams. Delirium prevention is achievable but requires complex interdepartmental strategies with specific components for timely recognition of the individual delirium risk, to carry out structured and sustained implementation of appropriate measures for delirium prevention as well as prompt etiological diagnostics and immediate treatment when delirium occurs.
objectiveThe present work aims to shed light on the role of interprofessional and interdisciplinary collaboration in evidence-based, nonpharmacological delirium prevention programs. MATERIAL AND
methodsNarrative review of international best practice programs.
resultsNonpharmacological prevention of delirium is effective but requires differentiated risk identification, regular delirium screening and daily targeted cognitive activation and sleep promotion. This can only be achieved in close interprofessional collaboration and is mostly carried out interdepartmentally by specialized teams. DISCUSSION: Interprofessional multicomponent programs for delirium prevention hold the potential to reduce delirium and complication rates in older high-risk patients in regular care, thereby improving treatment and long-term quality of life. Additional interprofessional delirium prevention teams are deployed in different settings simultaneously and provide regular training on optimal delirium management. Demonstration of the effectiveness of cross-setting programs requires large multicenter studies and is therefore particularly laborious.
