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

backgroundMinor bleeding after prostate biopsy is a relatively common complication, but clinically significant hemorrhage happens rarely. Management of prostatic artery pseudoaneurysm has not been described in the literature. CASE DESCRIPTION: In this case, an 84-year-old man presented after prostate biopsy with rectal bleeding and required a massive transfusion. Ultimately, he was found to have a prostatic artery pseudoaneurysm, which to our knowledge is heretofore undescribed after prostate biopsy. Bleeding ultimately stopped spontaneously as the patient deferred angioembolization. He had not recurrent bleeding on follow up but is still deciding on treatment course for newly diagnosed prostate cancer.

conclusionsBleeding from prostatic artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of prostate biopsy and can be managed with aggressive resuscitation and IR embolization if needed.
