Prediction of the development of delirium after transcatheter aortic valve implantation using preoperative brain perfusion SPECT.
Article in PloS one, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesDelirium is an important prognostic factor in postoperative patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery and intervention, including transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). However, delirium after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (DAT) is difficult to predict and its pathophysiology is still unclear. We aimed to investigate whether preoperative cerebral blood flow (CBF) is associated with DAT and, if so, whether CBF measurement is useful for predicting DAT.
methodsWe evaluated CBF in 50 consecutive patients before TAVI (84.7±4.5 yrs., 36 females) using 99mTc ethyl cysteinate dimer single-photon emission computed tomography. Preoperative CBF of the DAT group (N = 12) was compared with that of the non-DAT group (N = 38) using whole brain voxel-wise analysis with SPM12 and region of interest-based analysis with the easy-Z score imaging system. Multivariable logistic regression analysis with the presence of DAT was used to create its prediction model.
resultsThe whole brain analysis showed that preoperative CBF in the insula was lower in the DAT than in the non-DAT group (P<0.05, family-wise error correction). Decrease extent ratio in the insula of the DAT group (17.6±11.5%) was also greater relative to that of the non-DAT group (7.0±11.3%) in the region of interest-based analysis (P = 0.007). A model that included preoperative CBF in the insula and conventional indicators (frailty index, short physical performance battery and mini-mental state examination) showed the best predictive power for DAT (AUC 0.882).
conclusionsThese results suggest that preoperative CBF in the insula is associated with DAT and may be useful for its prediction.
