Prostatic artery embolization: magnetic resonance image (MRI) findings in the early detection of prostate infarction in a canine spontaneous benign prostatic hyperplasia model.

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
backgroundThe purpose was to assess the association between prostate infarction and prostate volume (PV) reduction after prostatic artery embolization (PAE) and define the best time point in detection of prostate infarction.
methodsTen male beagles (3.5-6.4 years) with spontaneous benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) underwent PAE. Magnetic resonance image (MRI) was conducted immediately before and 1 week, 2 weeks and 1 month after PAE to document prostate infarcts and measure PV. The sum of infarct areas (SUMIA) was measured and calculated using OsiriX software. Spearman's rank correlation was used to estimate the relationship of PV reduction rate with infarction percentage and SUMIA reduction.
resultsIn comparison with baseline data, significant PV reduction (P<0.001) occurred at 2 weeks and continued to decrease substantially (P=0.004) from 2 weeks to 1 month after PAE. In the same fashion, significant decrease in both SUMIA and infarction percentage was observed from 1 to 2 weeks (P=0.002), and subsequently to 1 month (P=0.039 and P=0.016, respectively). Spearman's rank correlation test demonstrated infarction percentage at 1 week had a stronger correlation (r=0.880, P=0.001) with PV reduction rate at 1 month than infarction percentage at 2 weeks (r=0.733, P=0.016). PV reduction rate had a significant correlation with decrease in SUMIA (r=0.854, P=0.002) at 1 month after PAE.
conclusionsOne week after PAE is an ideal time point to evaluate prostate infarction. Prostate infarction percentage at 1 week is a good predictor for prostate shrinkage at 1 month after PAE.
