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

Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is part of preoperative evaluation for frail elderly patients; Surgical Risk Calculator (SRC) from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Project can enhance this assessment by estimating the risk of postoperative complications (POCs) within 30 days, particularly postoperative delirium (POD).

objectivesOur primary objective was to identify CGA and/or SRC characteristics associated with POD within 30 days of oncological surgery in elderly patients. Our secondary objective was to determine the rates of 30-day POD, mortality, and readmission.

methodA single-centre retrospective observational study was conducted at the Marseille University Hospital between July 2021 and December 2022, involving patients aged 70 years and older who received a favourable geriatric assessment prior to surgery.

resultsOf the 161 patients included in the study (mean age of 80.6 years), 10.0% experienced postoperative delirium (POD), 8.1% died, and 14.9% were readmitted within 30 days of surgery. Risk factors for POD identified in multivariate analysis were age between 85 and 89 years and estimated risk of POD by SRC. Estimated risk of POD by SRC had an area under the curve of 0.89 in our sample.

conclusionSRC is a promising tool to add to CGA for assessing the risk of postoperative delirium in older cancer patients. Taking nutritional status into account improves postoperative geriatric care in this population.
