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

Prostatic artery pseudoaneurysm is an exceptionally rare vascular complication and an uncommon cause of gross hematuria, typically occurring after urologic instrumentation or surgical procedures such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). We describe the case of a 73-year-old male with a history of TURP and recent lower urinary tract instrumentation who presented with recurrent gross hematuria and symptomatic anemia. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) of the abdomen and pelvis demonstrated a 1.1 × 0.6 cm pseudoaneurysm arising from the distal left prostatic artery adjacent to the prostatic apex. Given persistent bleeding despite conservative measures, the patient underwent image-guided transcatheter embolization using a microcatheter system and Gelfoam slurry, achieving complete resolution of hematuria without recurrence. This case demonstrates the diagnostic value of CTA in identifying rare vascular causes of hematuria and highlights targeted transcatheter embolization as an effective, minimally invasive definitive treatment for post-procedural prostatic artery pseudoaneurysm.
