Impact of postoperative delirium on long-term neurologic and neuropsychiatric outcome after cardiac surgery or percutaneous valve replacement-a prospective observational study.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Patients undergoing cardiac surgery or percutaneous valve replacement may experience long-term neurologic and neuropsychiatric complications. The impact of postoperative delirium (POD) on these long-term complications remains controversial. We intended to illustrate the neurological and neuropsychiatric outcome associated with the occurrence of POD in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery or percutaneous valve replacement. Methods: We included 179 patients who underwent elective cardiac surgery or percutaneous valve replacement. Patients were evaluated postoperatively for delirium status. Neurological (score A) and neuropsychiatric (score B) outcomes were assessed using a structured examination protocol and interview at 1 year postoperatively and combined into a composite neurological and neuropsychiatric score (score A + B). Cognitive function was examined using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Depression, fatigue and quality of life were assessed using the Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI), the Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS) and the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12). Clinical outcome was assessed using the Barthel-Index (BI) and Frailty Index (FI). All data were collected prospectively. Results: One year after cardiac surgery or percutaneous valve replacement, a high number of patients suffered from neurological and neuropsychiatric symptoms with depressive symptoms ( Conclusions: POD in patients undergoing cardiac surgery or percutaneous valve replacement was independently associated with worse long-term neurological and neuropsychiatric outcome. POD may be a relevant prognostic marker indicating the need for specific follow-up services, whereas other clinical parameters were not predictive of outcome.
