Fig. 5

CNMA-circle plot with composite bar chart for the delirium prevention dataset. Links between interventions are coloured by the difference between arms. Links are coloured grey when the combination of components that differ between arms are not trialled in any single arm in the network. Multi-arm trials are denoted by multiple thinner connecting links. Numbers at the end of each link represent the number of trial arms for each intervention. The coloured section of the bars represents the number of patients without delirium and the white section the number of patients with delirium. In this network, all studies compared interventions to usual care so there are no head-to-head comparisons between interventions. Or = Re-orientation & familiar objects, Se = Attention to sensory deprivation, Cog = Cognitive stimulation, Nu = Nutrition & hydration, Inf = Identification of infection, Mob = Mobilisation, Sl = Sleep hygiene, Ox = Oxygenation, PC = Pain control, Me = Medication review, Mo = Mood, Bo = Bowel & bladder care
