Catastrophic sepsis and hemorrhage following transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsies.
Article in Canadian Urological Association journal = Journal de l'Association des urologues du Canada, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07631806 (Prospective Validation of an AI-Assisted Multimodal Imaging-Pathology Fusion System for Precision Diagnosis and Biopsy Guidance in Patients With Suspected Prostate Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
We report 2 cases of catastrophic complications following routine transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy. The first patient incurred near-fatal septic shock due to multi-resistant Escherichia coli. Due to the severity of his shock, he developed bilateral leg gangrene requiring amputations. The second patient incurred significant hemorrhage eventually requiring an emergent general anesthesia and surgical management to control hemorrhage after other measures failed. While rare events, these reports emphasize the caution needed for physicians who routinely order prostate biopsies.
