Preoperative Low Physical Activity is a Predictor of Postoperative Delirium in Patients with Gastrointestinal Cancer: A Retrospective Study.

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
backgroundPostoperative delirium (POD) is one of the most common postoperative complications in gastrointestinal surgery patients. POD has been reported to affect long-term activities of daily living, cognitive function decline, and mortality. Previous studies have indicated that preoperative physical activity (PA) predicted POD in patients with other diseases, but we have not found any reports in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. In this retrospective study, we investigated the relationship between preoperative PA and POD in gastrointestinal cancer patients.
methodsPOD was diagnosed based on the short confusion assessment method. We divided patients into active and inactive groups based on their preoperative PA assessed by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (Japanese version). Multivariate logistic analysis was conducted to investigate the association between preoperative PA and POD.
resultsPOD occurred in 25 of the 151 patients (16.6%). Preoperative low PA was associated with POD after adjusting for confounders, namely, diabetes mellitus, sedentary time, and usual gait speed (odds ratio, 2.83; 95% confidence interval: 1.06-7.58; p=0.03).
conclusionPreoperative low PA was a predictor of POD independent of the confounding factors in patients with gastrointestinal cancer.
