Research progress of postoperative delirium in neurosurgery.
Review in World journal of psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Delirium is a transient and acute syndrome of encephalopathy, characterized by disturbances in consciousness, orientation, cognition, perception, and emotional regulation, often accompanied by hallucinations, illusions, psychomotor agitation, and restlessness. Postoperative delirium (POD), a common complication particularly in elderly patients, significantly impacts recovery by prolonging mechanical ventilation, neurosurgical intensive care unit stays, and overall hospitalization durations, while severely diminishing patients' quality of life after discharge. Despite its prevalence, POD remains underrecognized in clinical practice, with significant gaps in its diagnosis and management. This review explores the definition, diagnostic criteria, underlying pathogenesis, and associated risk factors of POD in neurosurgical patients, aiming to offer valuable insights for improving clinical diagnosis and therapeutic strategies.
