Valsalva maneuvers during computed tomography (CT) can demonstrate seemingly worrisome but ultimately transient aortoiliac narrowing.

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
Computed tomography (CT) being performed with Valsalva is an efficacious and common technique performed to evaluate for abdominal hernias. In certain circumstances, Valsalva can generate sufficient intra-abdominal pressure to cause aortoiliac compression that can raise concerns for possible aortic atresia. Repeat CT without Valsalva generally demonstrates that these changes are transitory, and no further intervention is typically required. Given the ever-growing number of CTs with Valsalva being performed for hernia evaluation, clinicians involved in interpreting abdominal CTs should be aware of this concerning appearing but ultimately benign phenomenon.
