Alcohol consumption may be associated with postoperative delirium in the elderly: the PNDABLE study.
Article in BMC anesthesiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectivesThis study aimed to reveal the relationship between alcohol consumption and Postoperative delirium (POD) in the elderly.
methodsWe selected 252 patients from the Perioperative Neurocognitive Disorder And Biomarker Lifestyle (PNDABLE ) study. Patients in the PNDABLE database have been measured for Alzheimer-related biomarkers in CSF (Aβ
conclusionAlcohol consumption is a risk factor for POD (particularly for those with > 24 g a day on average) in the elderly, and contributes to POD through the mediation of Aβ
