1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundProstate artery embolization (PAE) is an established treatment option for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Variations in prostatic artery (PA) origins can present significant technical challenges. CASE PRESENTATION: An 86-year-old male with recurrent bladder cancer and persistent gross hematuria post-TURBT presented for PAE. Intra-procedural angiography revealed a prostatic artery branching from an aberrant obturator artery that originated from a trifurcation of the common femoral artery. PAE was successfully performed with contralateral access and particle embolization. The patient's hematuria resolved within 3 days, and his IPSS decreased by 10 points at follow-up.

conclusionThis case highlights a markedly rare variant of the prostatic artery arising from the common femoral artery, emphasizing the need for careful pre-procedural planning and vigilance during PAE to avoid complications.
