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 and Aims: A large proportion of patients suffering from medical conditions also experience mental health problems, cooperation of both side's professionals, seems to ensure the best way to reduce the existing gap and to create the best diagnostic-treatment plan, Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry provides this possibility in a general hospital. Delirium is one of the most important consultations requested by medical professionals for psychiatric services because it is a condition that threatens life and worsens the prognosis of patients. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive investigation of delirium and its related factors among patients in general hospitals. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in medical wards of a General Educational hospital in North Iran in 2022, Sampling was done among 864 patients, hospitalized in different medical departments who were requested by their medical specialists for consultation by the psychiatric service, The information collected for this study was obtained based on the recorded data in the psychiatric consultation sheets, All psychiatric diagnoses in this project were based on DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. Results: Our analysis revealed a significant increase in the incidence of delirium among patients with advancing age ( Conclusions: The results of our study demonstrate that advanced age, lower educational attainment, widowhood, and the presence of multiple comorbidities are significant risk factors for delirium among hospitalized patients. Furthermore, disturbances in laboratory parameters-excluding thyroid dysfunction and positive urine toxicology-are strongly associated with increased delirium risk. Notably, the majority of patients experiencing delirium had no prior history of active substance use or underlying dementia, as evidenced by our findings.
