Delirium Prevention in Acute Care Telemetry: An Evidence-Based Practice Project.
Article in Worldviews on evidence-based nursing, 2026. 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
rationaleDelirium among hospitalized patients is a common but largely preventable condition resulting in poor outcomes and increased healthcare costs. Research suggests that addressing the nursing knowledge gap regarding delirium and implementing prevention tactics can help prevent delirium from developing. AIM OF INITIATIVE: This evidence-based practice project aimed to reduce the incidence of delirium through early identification of delirium development and implementation of tailored nursing interventions. IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURE: A pre-survey was distributed to assess the nursing staff's knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding delirium. Education was developed based on survey results and tailored to address knowledge gaps and barriers to implementing existing delirium prevention tactics. The education was delivered in various formats and focused on delirium risk factors and the early implementation of evidence-based delirium prevention strategies. The education reinforced the clinical nurses' process of ordering and implementing a delirium prevention bundle and sleep promotion orders while also integrating new knowledge on risk factors and hallmarks of delirium. OUTCOMES: Clinical nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and self-reported behaviors showed improvement in the post-implementation survey. Delirium rates were reduced by 11.8%. After delirium developed, the patients' length of stay was reduced by 0.75 days. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Proactive, preventative measures can improve clinical outcomes and trajectories related to delirium. Therefore, continuing nursing education on delirium prevention strategies can improve patients' health outcomes in the acute care setting.
