Does Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) Improve Voiding Symptoms, Storage Symptoms, or Both?
Article in Cardiovascular and interventional radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionMany studies have looked at global changes in the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) following PAE; however, no studies have examined the breakdown between storage and voiding symptoms. We aimed to explore the extent to which PAE improves storage symptoms in relation to voiding symptoms.
methodThis single-center, prospective cohort study recruited consecutive patients undergoing PAE from June 2012 to June 2016. The IPSS breakdown was recorded pre-PAE, at 3 months and 12 months post-PAE. Planned statistical analysis included the paired t test.
resultsA total of 43 patients were recruited (mean age 64.72 ± 6.27, prostate volume 88.65 ± 37.23 cm
conclusionStorage symptoms are a significant problem for patients with benign prostatic obstruction. PAE is an effective treatment for both storage and voiding symptoms. More research is needed to evaluate how this compares with surgical techniques.
