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
introductionThis study aimed to develop and validate diagnostic models for distinguishing benign and malignant thyroid nodules.
methodsBetween January 2020 and June 2024, 735 patients were retrospectively selected for surgery or needle biopsy at our hospital. This cohort was divided into a training cohort (n=514) and a validation cohort (n=221) in a ratio of 7:3. All models were validated 10 times, and a receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was generated. Furthermore, a nomogram prediction model was constructed using the independent risk factors from Model 3, and its validity was verified through ROC curves, calibration curves, and clinical decision curves.
resultsThe AUC of Model 1 in the training cohort was 0.889, 0.913, 0.914, 0.914, 0.928, and 0.910, respectively. The AUC of Model 2 in the training cohort was 0.950, 0.957, 0.936, 0.946, 0.963, and 0.921, respectively. The AUC of Model 3 in the training cohort was 0.985, 0.991, 0.969, 0.949, 0.866, and 0.986, respectively. The Model 3, which was constructed based on the optimal classifier LDA, had the highest predictive value. Moreover, the clinical decision curve also indicated that it offers the greatest net benefit to patients. DISCUSSION: The integration of clinical features with multimodal ultrasound imageomics significantly improved diagnostic accuracy. The combined model showed enhanced sensitivity and specificity, potentially reducing unnecessary invasive procedures.
conclusionThis study developed a non-invasive preoperative diagnostic method for thyroid nodules using multimodal ultrasound histology and clinical models, and its nomogram was also convenient for clinical application.
