Combined infection of vertebroplasty and aortic graft after intravesical BCG treatment.

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
We report a 58-year-old man with spondylodiscitis by Mycobacterium bovis-BCG 3 years after intravesical BCG treatment, and shortly after a vertebroplasty. Further examination showed a psoas abscess and oedema around an endovascular aortic graft, which had been placed 1 year earlier. Puncture of the psoas abscess also grew M bovis-BCG. The patient recovered with a combination of antituberculous treatment and surgery. With hindsight a mycotic aneurysm had been present at the time of aortic graft placement and spondylodiscitis at the time of vertebroplasty. This case shows that low grade and longstanding infections may occur following intravesical BCG installation.
