Superselective superior rectal artery embolization in the treatment of hemorrhoidal disease.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Hemorrhoids are a prevalent and benign anal disorder for which minimally invasive treatments are increasingly preferred. The UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence clinical guideline (2010) recommends hemorrhoidal artery ligation as a treatment option for hemorrhoidal disease. Superior rectal artery embolization (SRAE) leverages this principle by using digital subtraction angiography to precisely identify and superselectively embolize the arteries supplying the hemorrhoidal region. This procedure has demonstrated favorable clinical outcomes. SRAE is minimally invasive, painless, preserves the anal sphincter and normal anal anatomy, and offers a quick recovery, establishing it as an effective minimally invasive surgical option. As a result, this technique has gained increasing clinical recognition and adoption. This article examines the efficacy and safety of superselective SRAE for hemorrhoidal disease.
