Arterial Embolization for the Internal Hemorrhoids Management: A Systematic Review.
Review in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background and Aims: Hemorrhoids are common vascular structures that can become symptomatic when prolapsed, representing the most prevalent benign anorectal condition worldwide. Despite affecting up to 11% of the population with symptoms including pain, bleeding, and discomfort, hemorrhoids remain underdiagnosed and often inappropriately managed. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the efficacy, clinical outcomes, and morbidity of endovascular artery embolization in hemorrhoids. Method: Up to August 2022, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase were searched comprehensively. All studies had eligible criteria included, except review articles, articles published in a language other than English, and case reports or series of cases. Two independent reviewers performed a literature review and data extraction. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020 checklist was used for quality assessment. Results: The systematic review included 15 studies. The patient's age ranged from 40.5 ± 9.51 to 72.2 ± 10.9. Eleven studies mentioned the sample size as gender-specific, with 57.89% ( Conclusion: Rectal artery embolization using microcoils, embolic particles, or a combination is a new method for managing internal hemorrhoids with proper clinical efficacy without significant complications. QoL score has improved after emborrhoid, and most cases had a lower bleeding score.
