Mini-Cog test predicts need for rehabilitation intervention during weaning after radical cystectomy.

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
Background: This study aimed to determine whether preoperative cognitive screening using the Mini-Cognitive Assessment Instrument (Mini-Cog) was useful for predicting the need for postoperative rehabilitation intervention in patients with bladder cancer who underwent radical cystectomy. Materials and methods: We collected the medical records of consecutive patients who underwent radical cystectomy and preoperative cognitive screening based on the Mini-Cog test in our department between 2020 and 2021 (n = 114). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify the clinical risk factors for requiring rehabilitation intervention because of failure to wean postoperatively. Results: The median age of the participants was 76 years, and 96 (84%) were male. Of the 114 patients, 31 (27%) required rehabilitation intervention for weaning. Based on the Mini-Cog test, the patients were classified into 2 groups: 22 (19%) had probable cognitive impairment (Mini-Cog score <3). Of the 22 patients with a Mini-Cog score of <3, 13 (59%) required rehabilitation intervention because of failure to wean postoperatively. In the multivariate analysis, being 75 years or older (odds ratio [OR], 9.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.6-36.3; Conclusions: Effective screening with the Mini-Cog test, a simple cognitive screening tool with only 2 components (delayed 3-word recall task and clock drawing), reflects not only cognitive function but also physical frailty and may lead to the establishment of appropriate rehabilitation programs during the perioperative period for early patient mobility after surgery.
