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

This case report describes a rare vascular variant identified during preparation for prostatic artery embolization (PAE), in which the right prostatic artery originated from the superior rectal artery (SRA). An 84-year-old man with benign prostatic hyperplasia and severe lower urinary tract symptoms (International Prostate Symptom Score [IPSS] 24, prostate volume 108 mL) underwent PAE after failure of medical therapy. Preprocedural CT angiography (CTA) identified the right prostatic artery originating from the SRA and the left prostatic artery originating from the internal pudendal artery. Embolization was successfully performed via left distal radial access, using 250-µm microspheres and a mixture of n-butyl cyanoacrylate and ethiodized oil. At six-month follow-up, the patient's IPSS improved to 12, Qmax increased to 21 mL/sec, and prostate volume decreased to 74 mL. Postprocedural MRI confirmed transitional zone infarction without complications. This case highlights the critical role of CTA in identifying rare anatomical variants to ensure safe and effective PAE.
