The Presence/Absence of an Awake-State Dominant EEG Rhythm in Delirious Patients Is Related to Different Symptoms of Delirium Evaluated by the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC).

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
(1) Background: Delirium is a serious condition in patients undergoing treatment for somatic diseases, leading to poor prognosis. However, the pathophysiology of delirium is not fully understood and should be clarified for its adequate treatment. This study analyzed the relationship between confusion symptoms in delirium and resting-state electroencephalogram (EEG) power spectrum (PS) profiles to investigate the heterogeneity. (2) Methods: The participants were 28 inpatients in a general hospital showing confusion symptoms with an Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC) score of 4 or above. EEG was measured at Pz in the daytime awake state for 100 s with the eyes open and 100 s with the eyes closed on the day of the ICDSC evaluation. PS analysis was conducted consecutively for each 10 s datum. (3) Results: Two resting EEG PS patterns were observed regarding the dominant rhythm: the presence or absence of a dominant rhythm, whereby the PS showed alpha or theta peaks in the former and no dominant rhythm in the latter. The patients showing a dominant EEG rhythm were frequently accompanied by hallucination or delusion (
