1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND), including postoperative delirium, preoperatively cognitive impairment, postoperative cognitive dysfunction, and delayed neurocognitive recovery, represent common complications following anesthesia and surgery, especially in the elderly. As the global population ages, PND is receiving increasing attention due to its prolonged the hospitalization, reduced quality of life and elevated mortality rate. A growing body of evidence has been suggested that the gut-brain axis, a communication system between the gut microbiota and the neuroinflammation, plays a critical role in the development and progression of cognitive impairment. Perioperative interventions, including anesthesia, surgical stress, result in gut microbiota dysbiosis and subsequently trigger neuroinflammation. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the underlying mechanistic associations between the gut microbiota and the neuroinflammation during PND progression. In this review, we synthesize current knowledge on the mechanistic interplay between gut microbiota dysbiosis and neuroinflammation in PND pathogenesis, which provide reasonable and novel therapeutic approaches targeting the gut-brain axis for PND.
