The influencing factors of cognitive dysfunction in patients after cardiac surgery and the construction of a nomogram prediction model.
Article in European journal of medical research, 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
backgroundEarly detection of cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery may help improve the prognosis and quality of life. Identifying risk factors and clinically relevant factors is critical for prevention and treatment.
methodsThis study retrospectively selected 305 patients admitted to the cardiac surgery Department of Union Hospital Affiliated with Fujian Medical University from January 2024 to July 2024 as the study objects. The cognitive function of the patients was assessed by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MOCA) before and on the 6th day after surgery, and the patients were divided into a cognitive dysfunction group and a non-cognitive dysfunction group. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of POCD in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. R software was used to construct the nomogram model of POCD in heart patients.
resultsLogistic regression model was used to screen the included variables, and the final results showed age (OR = 2.670, 95%CI 1.675-4.255, P < 0.001), white blood cell count (OR = 1.155, 95%CI 1.050-1.271, P = 0.009), lymphocytes (OR = 2.200, 95%CI 1.512-3.200, P < 0.001), and hemoglobin (OR = 1.020, 95%CI 1.009-1.032, P < 0.001) were independent risk factors for POCD on day 6 in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The predicted value of the calibration curve of POCD on the 6th day of cardiac surgery was consistent with the actual value, and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test (χ
conclusionsAge, white blood cell count, lymphocyte, and hemoglobin are independent risk factors for POCD on day 6 of cardiac surgery. The nomogram prediction model constructed in this study has good predictive ability.
