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.

2 · The registry

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

The most commonly reported complications after prostate biopsies are associated with bleeding. We present the case of a 60 y/o male with a history of elevated Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) and a PI-RADS 4 lesion who underwent an MRI-guided transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) biopsy which resulted in a rare phenomenon of a hematoma in the space of Retzius. Conservative management may be effective for patients with Retzius space hematomas who are stable or asymptomatic.
