Anatomy for Prostatic Artery Embolization.
Review in Seminars in interventional radiology, 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
Prostatic artery embolization (PAE) is a minimally invasive treatment for patients with moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms and/or urinary retention due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), as well as hematuria secondary to prostatic bleeding. PAE achieves its therapeutic effect by inducing ischemic necrosis and reducing prostatic volume, while also decreasing neuromuscular tone. This dual mechanism addresses both the static and dynamic components of bladder outflow obstruction associated with BPH. PAE is technically challenging and necessitates in-depth knowledge of the complex and variable anatomy of the pelvic vasculature. Successful outcomes depend on precise identification of the prostatic artery and recognition of anastomoses to surrounding structures to minimize the risk of nontarget embolization and associated complications. This article reviews the prostatic arterial anatomy and explores the role of advanced imaging techniques for preprocedural planning and intraprocedural guidance to optimize procedural safety and efficacy.
