Kidney Transcatheter Arterial Embolization Reduces Kidney Cyst Infection in Patients With ADPKD.
Article in Kidney international reports, 2026. 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
Introduction: Kidney cyst infections are serious complications in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Kidney transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) reduces kidney volume in this population. We tested the hypothesis that TAE could prevent kidney cyst infections. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 416 patients with ADPKD who underwent kidney TAE (primary cohort), including 70 patients with a previous kidney cyst infection. The primary outcome was the annual frequency of kidney cyst infections. Secondary outcomes included hospitalization duration. The risk factors for post-TAE infection recurrence were identified by multivariable linear regression. Results: In the primary cohort, the frequency of cyst infections decreased from 0.291 episodes per year pre-TAE to 0.087 post-TAE ( Conclusion: Kidney TAE is a promising technique for reducing kidney cyst infections in patients with ADPKD. TAE should be performed after full remission without antibiotic therapy, but TAE reduces cyst infection even in consistent antibiotic users. Early, extensive embolization might be particularly beneficial in patients at high-risk.
