Preoperative Prognostic Nutritional Index Is a Predictive Factor for Postoperative Delirium in Elderly Patients with Femoral Neck Fracture.

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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the potential risk factors of postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients (≥65 years old) undergoing femoral neck fracture (FNF) surgery, and explore whether preoperative prognostic nutritional index (PNI) could predict the occurrence of POD. Methods: A total of 260 cases with FNF were included in this study at The Affiliated Jinling Hospital of Nanjing University from May 2018 and May 2024. The baseline characteristics were recorded. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was developed to evaluate the diagnostic ability of preoperative PNI for POD. LASSO regression and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify the risk factors for POD. Results: Eighty-one of the 260 cases with FNF suffered POD with an incidence of 31.2%. Patients with POD showed lower Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score ( Conclusion: In conclusion, preoperative PNI is a significant predictor for POD in elderly patients after FNF surgery.
