A prognostic nomogram for distant metastasis in thyroid cancer patients without lymph node metastasis.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Background: Despite having negative lymph node (N0) status, thyroid cancer (TC) patients can still experience distant metastasis (DM), which significantly impacts their survival. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic factors for DM in TC patients (N0) and develop a predictive nomogram model for analyzing the prognosis of TC N0 patients with DM. Methods: Data collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database for 18,504 TC patients (N0) between 2004 and 2015 were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify independent prognostic factors for DM in TC N0. These independent factors were used to build a nomogram model to predict overall survival (OS) at 1, 3, and 5 years for TC patients (N0) with DM. Results and conclusion: This study examined the clinicopathological features associated with the risk and prognosis of DM in TC patients (N0), and successfully established and validated a nomogram capable of predicting OS in individual patients with DM. The nomogram is highly useful for the timely identification of TC patients (N0) at high risk of DM by physicians, enabling individualized survival evaluations and treatment for TC patients with DM (N0).
