Early Postoperative Cognitive Performance After Total Arch Replacement: A Prospective Observational Study.

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: Early postoperative cognitive trajectories following total arch replacement remain insufficiently characterized. This study evaluated serial postoperative recovery patterns with particular focus on cognitive performance during the first postoperative week. Methods: Adult patients undergoing elective total arch replacement were enrolled. Recovery was assessed using the Postoperative Quality of Recovery Scale (PostopQRS) at baseline within 14 days before surgery and postoperatively at 3 h and 1, 3, and 7 days after extubation. Cognitive recovery was evaluated according to the revised PostopQRS cognitive recovery algorithm. Recovery trajectories including other PostopQRS domains were summarized descriptively. Results: Forty-one patients were included in the final analysis. The mean (SD) age was 68.4 (10.4) years, and 31 patients (91%) were male. Cognitive recovery was observed in 23/41 (56.1%) of patients at 3 h after extubation, 26/41 (63.4%) at postoperative Day 1, 31/41 (75.6%) at postoperative Day 3, and 30/41 (73.2%) at postoperative Day 7. While physiological, emotive, and activities of daily living domains showed progressive improvement over time, nociceptive recovery remained incomplete throughout follow-up and was primarily driven by persistent pain rather than nausea. Conclusion: Cognitive recovery after total arch replacement improved gradually during the early postoperative period but remained incomplete in a substantial proportion of patients at postoperative Day 7. These findings highlight the heterogeneous nature of postoperative cognitive recovery and support the importance of serial cognitive assessment after complex aortic surgery.
