Post-stroke delirium is a predictor of prolonged hospital stay and poor functional outcome at 3 months.

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: Delirium is a frequent complication of acute ischemic stroke associated with poor outcome. The complex interplay with post-stroke infections remains to be elucidated. Our study aimed to investigate whether post-stroke delirium (PSD) was a predictor of prolonged hospital stay, poor functional outcome, and mortality after acute ischemic stroke, independent of the development of post-stroke pneumonia (PSP) and post-stroke urinary tract infections (PSU). Methods: In a previously published dataset of 514 patients with acute ischemic stroke, 201 patients (39%) developed delirium within the first week after stroke onset using a chart review method based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition criteria. Fifteen percent developed PSP and 22% PSU, using the modified criteria of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Logistic regression analyses were used to identify predictors of prolonged hospital stay (>median 9 days), poor functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale >2), and mortality at 3 months after stroke onset. Results: Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that PSD was a predictor of prolonged hospital stay [odds ratio (OR): 4.085, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.445-6.824] and poor functional outcome [OR: 3.362, 95% CI: 1.851-6.107) at 3 months after stroke onset, even after adjustment for age, premorbid disability, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale on admission, PSP, and PSU. PSD was no predictor of mortality after stroke. Conclusion: PSD is a predictor of prolonged hospital stay and poor functional outcome at 3 months after ischemic stroke, independent of PSP and PSU.
