[Update on the diagnosis and treatment of delirium].
Article in Innere Medizin (Heidelberg, Germany), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Delirium is an acute confusional state with typically fluctuating disturbances of attention, cognition, and qualitative awareness. Its incidence depends on the patient group. In the development of delirium, predisposing factors such as age, frailty, multimorbidity, surgical interventions, and pre-existing dementia are of high clinical relevance. The diagnosis of delirium should be based on symptoms and validated screening methods (e.g., Confusion Assessment Method). As delirium is a direct physiological consequence of a medical condition, the potential underlying cause(s) should be diagnosed. Prevention and therapy are primarily multimodal, non-pharmacological treatments such as reorientation, early mobilization, and sleep improvement. If symptomatic pharmacological treatment is necessary (e.g., due to delirium-related agitation), careful drug selection should be made depending on the patient population and symptoms.
