Delirium-related factors and their prognostic value in patients undergoing craniotomy for brain metastasis.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Background: Delirium is characterized by acute brain dysfunction. Although delirium significantly affects the quality of life of patients with brain metastases, little is known about delirium in patients who undergo craniotomy for brain metastases. This study aimed to identify the factors influencing the occurrence of delirium following craniotomy for brain metastases and determine its impact on patient prognosis. Method: A total of 153 patients who underwent craniotomy for brain metastases between March 2013 and December 2020 were evaluated for clinical and radiological factors related to the occurrence of delirium. Statistical analysis was conducted by dividing the patients into two groups based on the presence of delirium, and statistical significance was confirmed by adjusting the clinical characteristics of the patients with brain metastases using propensity score matching (PSM). The effect of delirium on patient survival was subsequently evaluated using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results: Of 153 patients, 14 (9.2%) had delirium. Age ( Conclusion: In addition to the previously identified factors, postoperative hematoma was identified as a strong predictor of postoperative delirium. Also, the negative impact of delirium on patient prognosis including low survival rate was confirmed.
