Prostate Artery Embolization for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Case Report and Comprehensive Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
This case report describes the successful use of prostate artery embolization (PAE) in a 75-year-old male with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) that did not respond to medical therapy. Despite initial treatments, the patient had persistent symptoms and significant prostate enlargement. PAE was chosen for its minimally invasive nature and advantages over traditional surgery. After the procedure, the patient experienced significant improvements, including reduced prostate volume, decreased post-void residual volume, and enhanced urinary flow. Follow-up showed a marked reduction in symptoms. This case highlights PAE as an effective alternative for patients with BPH who do not respond to medical management or are not suitable for conventional surgery. Further research is needed to evaluate long-term outcomes compared to established treatments.
