The Effect of Ciprofol on Postoperative Delirium in Elderly Patients Undergoing Thoracoscopic Surgery for Lung Cancer: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Drug design, development and therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07399184 (Comparison of the Effects of Ibuprofen on Cerebral Oxygenation, Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction, and Delirium in One-Lung Ventilation), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Purpose: This study was conducted to assess whether ciprofol vs propofol could affect the incidence of postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients with lung cancer after thoracoscopic surgery. Patients and Methods: In this study, a total of 84 elderly patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer were recruited and randomized into two groups to receive anesthesia with either ciprofol or propofol. The primary outcome was the incidence of POD within three days after surgery. Secondary outcomes included the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) score, intraoperative indicators related to mean arterial pressure (MAP), and cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (SctO Results: The incidence of POD was 7.1% and 16.7%, respectively, in the ciprofol group and the propofol group (risk ratio [RR], 0.37; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.07 to 2.03; risk difference [RD], -9.6%; 95% CI, -23.3% to 4.1%; p = 0.178). Compared with those in the propofol group, patients in the ciprofol group had lower CAM scores three days after surgery (13 (12, 15) vs 15 (14, 17); 12 (11, 13) vs 14 (13, 16); 12 (11, 12) vs 13 (12, 14), p<0.05). Besides, patients in the ciprofol group exhibited higher mean and minimum MAP (88.63 ± 6.7 vs 85 ± 8.3; 69.81 ± 9.59 vs 64.9 ± 9.43, p<0.05) and SctO Conclusion: Anesthesia with ciprofol did not increase the incidence of POD compared with propofol. The results demonstrated that ciprofol could improve intraoperative MAP and SctO
