Exploring the psychological landscape of thyroid nodules: resilience, anxiety, and ultrasound correlations.

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: While thyroid nodules (TN) represent a prevalent clinical entity with ultrasound-guided management paradigms, the psychological sequelae of diagnostic imaging remain underexplored. This study investigates the complex interplay between ultrasound characteristics (C-TIRADS), psychological resilience, and anxiety manifestations in TN patients, addressing a critical gap in psychosomatic thyroidology. Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study, 303 consecutive TN patients (mean age 47.3 ± 12.1 years, 72.6% female) underwent standardized ultrasound evaluation using Aplio500 systems (Toshiba) at the First Affiliated Hospital of Dali University (October 2022-October 2024). C-TIRADS classifications were independently adjudicated by two radiologists. Psychological assessments employed the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) within 48 h post-examination. Advanced statistical analyses included: (1) Multivariate regression modeling accounting for demographic confounders. (2) Spearman/Kendall correlation matrices. (3) Ordinal logistic regression for malignancy risk stratification. Results: Psychological assessments revealed that TN Conclusion: Higher C-TIRADS malignancy risk classifications were associated with reduced resilience and increased anxiety, particularly in patients with irregular nodule edges. Clinical approaches should focus on psychological support to boost resilience, treatment outcomes, and quality of life.
