The effect of thyroid nodule location in ultrasound on the diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma.
Article in Discover oncology, 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
objectiveExploring the role of nodule location in the diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma in Chinese patients.
methodsThis study is a retrospective analysis of thyroid nodule patients who underwent surgery in our hospital from Jan 2022 to Dec 2023. The ultrasound characteristics of thyroid nodules in all patients were analyzed by matching them one-to-one with the postoperative pathological results.
resultsFour hundred and seven patients and 496 nodules were included in the analysis of this study. There were 320 female patients (78.6%) and papillary thyroid carcinoma were 312 (62.9%). Univariate analysis found that except for age and nodule size, other factors have statistical significance in the diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Especially for isthmus nodule, the risk for malignant tumor was particularly high. When these factors were taken into multivariate logistic regression, the location of the isthmus still had statistical significance in the risk of malignancy. Meanwhile, the location of thyroid nodule could provide more reference information for the active surveillance of low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma patients.
conclusionThyroid isthmus nodule has a higher likelihood of malignancy. During the active surveillance process in low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma patients, attention should be paid to the dynamic changing in the location of thyroid nodule.
