The Effect of Peripheral Nerve Block on Postoperative Delirium in Older Adults Undergoing Hip Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
This meta-analysis aimed to determine whether peripheral nerve blocks (PNB) reduce postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients undergoing hip surgery. This study was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO; CRD42022328320). The PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on 26 April 2022. A total of 19 RCTs with 1977 participants were included. Perioperative PNB lowered the POD incidence on the third postoperative day (OR: 0.59, 95% CI [0.40 to 0.87],
