Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04081636 (Prospective, Randomized Study Comparing Transperineal and Transrectal Prostate Biopsy Efficacy and Complications), which is not on this map. Cited by 18 papers.

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.

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

objectiveTo explore risk factors of infectious complications following transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUSPB).

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 1,203 patients with suspected prostate cancer who underwent TRUSPB at our center between December 2012 and December 2016. Demographics, clinical characteristics, and data regarding complications were collected, and then univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent risk factors for infectious complications after prostate biopsy.

resultsMultivariate logistic analysis demonstrated that body mass index (BMI) (OR=2.339, 95% CI 2.029-2.697,

conclusionBMI >28.196 kg/m
