A suggestive case report of posterior "Nutcracker syndrome" at computed tomography, and review of the literature.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
"Nutcracker syndrome" (NCS), also called left renal vein (LRV) entrapment syndrome, is a rare vascular compression disorder referring to extrinsic compression of the LRV by the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) anteriorly and the abdominal aorta (Ao) posteriorly. Posterior NCS is defined by the compression of the left renal vein between the abdominal aorta and a lumbar vertebral body. We describe the case in which a posterior NCS was observed and diagnosed for the first time during a computed tomography (CT) in a male patient who presented with persistent left abdominal flank pain and posterior abdominal pain, associated with micro-haematuria. CT had a key diagnostic tool in this rare condition.
