Bacterial sepsis following prostatic biopsy.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
purposeDespite the recent innovations, complications of prostate biopsy can occur. The aim of this study was a prospective monitoring of major septic complications occurring after transrectal prostate biopsy, to describe their causing agents, to report the clinical course of these patients, and to give guidelines based on our personal experience.
methodsThis prospective study was carried out between January 2009 and September 2010. Complications were evaluated by telephone interviews.
resultsBetween January 2009 and September 2010, 447 (96.5%) completed the telephone interview. Urosepsis occurred in ten patients (2.2%) and in three cases evolved into septic shock. Of these ten patients, nine had a positive blood culture, of whom eight for Escherichia coli and one for Aeromonas hydrophila, Aeromonas caviae, and Aeromonas sobria. In seven cases, the E. coli isolated were resistant to fluoroquinolone and six produced an extended spectrum beta-lactamase. Six E. coli were classified as multidrug-resistant organisms. Of the 10 patients, one died after the onset of multiorgan failure. For the other nine, the mean time spent in the hospital was 9 days (range, 6-15 days).
conclusionsEscherichia coli are developing new drug resistances. Early recognition of patients who harbor MDRO E. coli in their rectum or in the urine could be an important strategy for preventing sepsis. If a patient who has recently undergone transrectal prostate biopsy shows clinical signs of sepsis in the 48 h, a multiresistant E. coli infection must be suspected. The patient must be admitted urgently to the hospital, and carbapenem antibiotic therapy should be started.
