[Detection rate of thyroid nodules in routine health check-up and its influencing factors: a 10-year survey of 309 576 cases].
Article in Nan fang yi ke da xue xue bao = Journal of Southern Medical University, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo analyze the detection rate of thyroid nodules and its influencing factors among individuals undergoing routine health check-up in Guangdong Province.
methodsWe analyzed the results of thyroid ultrasonography of 309 576 individuals receiving routine health check-up in a general hospital in Guangdong Province over the past 10 years. The data were compared between the individuals with and without thyroid nodules using two independent samples
resultsBased on the structured and standardized data, the total detection rate of thyroid nodules was 9.68% among the individuals, 7.71% in male and 13.51% in female subjects, showing a significant gender difference (χ
conclusionsThe detection rate of thyroid nodule is much higher in female than in male individuals in Guangdong Province and is significantly associated with gender, age, BMI and metabolic related diseases. Male gender and underweight might be protective factors for thyroid nodules, while an advanced age, overweight/obesity, hyperlipidemia, high blood glucose and metabolic syndrome are associated with an increased risk of thyroid nodules. Thyroid ultrasound examination is recommended in routine health check-up for early detection and treatment of thyroid diseases.
