Transradial Prostatic Artery Embolization as a Salvage Procedure in a Patient With Severe Deformities and Refractory Hematuria of Prostatic Origin.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a common condition causing urinary symptoms in older men. It can sometimes lead to hematuria of prostatic origin, due to increased vascularity of the enlarged gland. If this type of hematuria is severe and refractory to conservative measures, it can be life-threatening. Prostatic artery embolization (PAE) serves as a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgical interventions, particularly in patients with comorbidities and contraindications to surgery. We present a case of a 79-year-old male with refractory hematuria of prostatic origin (RHPO), multiple comorbidities, and significant deformities of the left upper and both lower limbs. The patient was treated with PAE via the right radial artery, a less common approach in interventional radiology. The procedure was successful and led to a complete resolution of hematuria, with no complications. This report highlights the importance of adapting treatment for complex patients and shows that PAE can be safe and effective in such cases.
