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

Postoperative delirium (POD), a common neurocognitive complication in the early postoperative period associated with high morbidity in elderly and high-risk surgical patients, faces fundamental research constraints due to the lack of quantitative rodent behavioral assessment tools, hindering therapeutic innovation. Herein, we employed a 3D-AI animal behavior analysis system to evaluate spontaneous behaviors in mice post laparotomy surgery with isoflurane anesthesia. Mice exhibited apathy, bradykinesia, inflexible motion, and abnormal behavioral transitions at the 3-day after surgery. Based on unsupervised clustering and manifold analysis, we then quantized the dynamic alteration of comprehensive behavioral phenotypes in fear conditioning test. The cued memory, cognitive flexibility, and cognitive robustness were also impaired after surgery. Furthermore, we developed a novel intraoperative temporal interference-noninvasive brain stimulation (TI-NIBS), inducing a stereo-focusing electric field targeting the dentate gyrus of dorsal hippocampus, which significantly mitigated POD symptoms by restoring hippocampal neural activity and neurotransmitter homeostasis. This study elucidates a comprehensive behavioral profile of POD symptoms and provides a therapeutic non-invasive neuro-modulatory strategy to prevent POD by restoring hippocampal function.
