Perioperative symptoms in patients with thyroid cancer: a cross-sectional and longitudinal network analysis.
Observational study in BMC endocrine disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPatients with thyroid cancer experience a range of symptoms during surgical treatment. Identifying their core symptoms and understanding their dynamic changes can help improve the efficiency of clinical symptom management.
methodsA longitudinal observational study design was used, and convenience sampling method was applied to select thyroid cancer patients who attended the Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery in a tertiary hospital in Suzhou City from October 2024 to April 2025. A general information questionnaire and the Chinese version of the Memory Symptom Assessment Scale were used to assess the patients 1 day before surgery (T1), 1-2 days after surgery (T2) and 2 weeks after surgery (T3). The symptom severity bias correlation network was constructed through R language, and the core symptoms of T1, T2 and T3 were identified.
resultsThis study finally included 248 patients with thyroid cancer. The results showed that the three symptoms with the highest strength centrality in the T1 network were lack of appetite (r
conclusionThe study identified the core symptoms present at each stage of the perioperative period in patients with thyroid cancer, suggesting that clinical practitioners can develop efficient, targeted and precise management strategies based on the core symptoms at different times, with a view to improving the perioperative symptom experience of patients and increasing the efficiency of symptom management.
