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

objectiveThis study was undertaken to examine incidence and predictors of delirium in acute aortic syndrome (AAS) patients with or without surgery, and to evaluate its association with early and follow-up outcomes.

methodsA cross-sectional study was retrospectively performed at a single center using a database that was prospectively maintained between 2019 and 2021. Measured outcomes included postoperative results and both early and follow-up survival rates.

resultsFive hundred ninety-two AAS patients were recruited. Delirium was seen in 31.6% (187/592) of patients. Predictors of delirium included the use of sedatives (odds ratio (OR) = 16.490, 95%-confidence interval (CI) = 8.981–30.279, P < 0.001) and sodium nitroprusside (OR = 2.676, 95%CI = 1.729–4.142, P < 0.001). Delirium was revealed as a risk factor for length of hospital stay (LOS) (OR = 1.101, 95%CI = 1.023–1.185, P < 0.05) and prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stay (OR = 3.073, 95% CI = 1.744–5.415, P < 0.001).

conclusionThe incidence of delirium in AAS patients is 31.6%, significantly increasing LOS and ICU stay duration. The use of sedatives and sodium nitroprusside were revealed as risk factors for delirium.
