Accuracy of delirium risk factors in adult intensive care unit patients.
Article in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveTo assess the accuracy measurements for predisposing and precipitating Risk Factors for delirium in an adult Intensive Care Unit.
methodCohort, prospective study with patients over 18 who had been hospitalized for over 24 hours and were able to communicate. The patients were assessed once a day until the onset of delirium or permanence in the Intensive Care Unit. Instruments were employed to track delirium, characterize the sample, and identify the risk factors. Descriptive statistics was employed for sample characterization and accuracy tests for risk factors.
resultsThe included patients amounted to 102, 31 of which presented delirium. The predisposing predictive risk factors were hypoalbuminemia, American Society of Anesthesiology over three, severity, altered tissue perfusion, dehydration, and being a male, whereas precipitating predictive factors were physical restraint, infection, pharmacological agent, polypharmacy, anemia, altered renal function, dehydration, invasive devices, altered tissue perfusion and altered quality and quantity of sleep.
conclusionAn accurate identification of predisposing and precipitating risk factors may contribute to planning preventive measures against delirium.
