Impact of the Charlson Comorbidity Index on Delirium Outcomes.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction Delirium is a significant inpatient healthcare challenge and has a greater incidence among older adults with adverse healthcare outcomes. Yet there are limited established models for risk stratification. The objective is to determine the effectiveness of implementing the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) score, which is calculated based on the assigned weight for various disease conditions, and to analyze the healthcare outcomes in older hospitalized adults with delirium. Methodology A retrospective cohort study of 214 elderly hospitalized patients between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2016, with the diagnosis of delirium, was analyzed by grouping based on the severity of diseases as defined in CCI. The primary analysis outcome was to analyze all-cause inpatient mortality, length of hospital stay (in days), 30-day readmissions, and discharge destination in patients with delirium based on CCI scores using regression analysis and nonparametric tests. Secondary analysis included the prevalence and characteristics of delirium patients in different severity levels of CCI. Results Patients with the severe CCI category (with a total score of five and above) spent 10 days longer in the hospital than those who were categorized with mild delirium (
