Relevance of Preoperative Cognitive Impairment for Predicting Postoperative Delirium in Surgical Medicine: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in Geriatrics (Basel, Switzerland), 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
backgroundPost-operative delirium is a dreaded complication after surgery in older patients. The identification of risk factors for delirium and comprehensive geriatric assessment is an extensive part of recent research. However, the preoperative assessment of risk factors, such as impaired cognition, is frequently not standardized.
methodsA comprehensive preoperative assessment was performed in 421 surgical patients to investigate the impact of preoperative cognitive impairment (PCI) on the risk of delirium and to evaluate appropriate screening tools (Six-item screener (SIS) and clock-drawing test (CDT)).
resultsBoth screening tools showed a significantly increased risk of delirium with
conclusionsThe recording of PCI should be a central component of the preoperative geriatric assessment. The tools used are simple yet effective and can be easily implemented in routine clinical practice. By reliably identifying patients at risk, the available resources can be personalized and used in a targeted approach.
