Cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers of neuroinflammation and postoperative neurocognitive disorders in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery: protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in BMJ open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis 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
introductionPostoperative neurocognitive disorders (PNDs) are characterised by gradual cognitive decline or change occurring after anaesthesia and surgery, and they are common in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery. The onset of PNDs has been associated with dementia or other types of neurocognitive disorders in later life. Moreover, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of neuroinflammation, including amyloid beta-40 peptide, amyloid beta-42 peptide, total tau protein, phosphorylated tau protein and neurofilament light chain, have been reported to be crucial in several high-quality clinical studies on PNDs. However, the role of these biomarkers in the onset of PNDs remains controversial. Therefore, this study aims to determine the association between CSF biomarkers of neuroinflammation and the onset of PNDs in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery, which will provide novel insights for investigating PNDs and other types of dementia. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This systematic review and meta-analysis will be conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviewd and Meta-Analyses 2020 statement. Moreover, we will search MEDLINE (via OVID), EMBASE and the Cochrane Library without any language and date restrictions. Observational studies will be included. Two reviewers will independently perform the entire procedure, and disagreements will be settled by discussion between them and consultation with a third reviewer. Standardised electronic forms will be generated to extract data. The risk of bias in the individual studies will be evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. All statistical analyses will be performed using the RevMan software or the Stata software. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study will include peer-reviewed published articles; thus, no ethical issues will be involved. Further, the final manuscript will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42022380180.
