Ability of clock drawing errors on Mini-Cog test to predict development of delirium after major urological cancer surgery.

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
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the clock drawing test (CDT) on postoperative delirium and compare the abilities of the mini-cognitive (Mini-Cog) test and the CDT for predicting postoperative delirium after major urological cancer surgery. Materials and methods: In this single-center retrospective observational study, we collected the medical records of patients who underwent major urologic cancer surgery and preoperative cognitive screening based on the Mini-Cog test consisting of the CDT and the 3-word recall task at our department in 2020-2021 (n = 387). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify the clinical risk factors for postoperative delirium. We also compared the ability of the CDT alone and the Mini-Cog test consisting of the CDT and 3-word recall task to predict postoperative delirium. Results: A total of 117 patients (30%) had abnormal CDT results. Postoperative delirium occurred in 29 patients (7%). On multivariate analysis, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status ≥3 (odds ratio [OR], 5.0; Conclusions: The CDT served as a formal but simple tool with adequate predictive power to identify the risk of postoperative delirium among patients undergoing major urological cancer surgery. Effective screening using the CDT might help provide optimal urological care for older patients.
