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

Aim: Post-stroke-delirium has been linked to worse outcome in patients with acute cerebrovascular disease; identification of individuals at risk may prevent delirium and thereby improve outcome. We investigate prognosis and factors associated with post-stroke-delirium in patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) ischemic stroke treated by mechanical thrombectomy (MT). Methods: 747 patients (53.4% female) prospectively enrolled in the Gutenberg-Stroke-Study from May 2018-November 2022 were analyzed with regard to diagnosis of delirium. Group comparison of patient-, stroke- and treatment characteristics as well as computed tomography(CT)-imaging based parameters of cerebral atrophy (global cortical atrophy [GCA], posterior atrophy [Koedam], medial temporal lobe atrophy [MTA] scores) and white matter lesions (Fazekas score) was conducted. Independent predictors of delirium and the association of delirium with functional outcome at 90-day follow-up was investigated by multiple logistic regression analyses. Results: We report 8.2% of patients (61/747) developing delirium following MT of LVO. Independent predictors were older age (aOR[95%CI] per year: 1.034[1.005-1.065], Conclusion: Delirium is independently associated with worse functional outcome after MT of LVO, stressing the importance of screening and preventive measures. Besides conventional risk factors, pathological MTA scores and use of general anesthesia during MT may be easy-to-apply criteria to identify individuals at risk of delirium and implement prevention strategies.
