Construction and validation of a nomogram for predicting distant metastasis in Hurthle cell carcinoma of the thyroid.
Article in Updates in surgery, 2026. 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
To analyze independent risk factors for distant metastasis of Hurthle cell carcinoma (HCC)of the thyroid and to construct and validate a nomogram, thereby assisting clinicians in making more individualized clinical decisions. Patient data were retrieved from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Chi-square tests and Logistic regression analysis were used to determine independent risk factors for distant metastasis of HCC. Logistic regression models based on significant independent risk factors were established using the rms package of R software (version 4.3.3) and visualized as a nomogram. The performance of the nomogram was evaluated using subject operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). A total of 1312 HCC patients were included, among whom 48 patients developed distant metastasis, accounting for 3.66% of the entire cohort. Results of chi-square test and univariate logistic regression analysis indicated that age, gender, marital status, tumor size, and lymph node metastasis were significantly associated with distant metastasis of HCC. Multifactorial logistic regression analysis revealed that age, gender, marital status and lymph node metastasis were independent risk factors for distant metastasis of HCC, which were used to construct the nomogram. Results of ROC curve analysis, calibration curves, and DCA demonstrated that the nomogram had good predictive performance. We successfully constructed and validated a nomogram for predicting distant metastasis of HCC. This nomogram is important for clinicians to promptly identify patients at high risk of distant metastasis and formulate more individualized clinical decisions.
