Postoperative delirium: identifying the patient at risk and altering the course: A narrative review.
Review in European journal of anaesthesiology and intensive care, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common neurocognitive syndrome seen in older patients after major surgery. POD is linked to longer stays in hospital and intensive care, a greater incidence of postoperative complications, worse functional outcome, and higher mortality. Researchers have not yet fully elucidated the exact pathophysiology of POD. Several risk factors that contribute to the development of POD have been identified, such as advanced age, cardiac or hip surgery, preoperative cognitive decline or delirium, disturbances in brain levels of neurotransmitters and information processing, oxidative stress and neuro-inflammation. Identifying patients at risk for POD enables a more precise and efficient allocation of medical resources and facilitates POD prevention and management. The present review addresses how to identify patients at risk of POD and summarizes the currently available evidence and best-practice recommendations for peri-operative management and prevention of POD.
