Delirium after deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease: a meta-analysis of incidence and risk factors.
Synthesis in Neurosurgical review, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a valuable treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD), but postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication. Understanding the risk factors for POD is crucial for optimizing patient selection and developing preventative measures. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to identify predictors of POD in PD patients undergoing DBS surgery. We conducted a comprehensive search of four major databases for cohort studies on POD in patients undergoing DBS for PD, up to June 2024. Two reviewers independently screened studies, assessed the risk of bias using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, and extracted data. Meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager, with heterogeneity assessed the I
