Development and validation of a predictive nomogram for high-risk thyroid nodules: a retrospective analysis of sedentary time, insomnia, and elevated weight.

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: Thyroid nodules are widely regarded as one of the most prevalent endocrine disorders, and high-risk thyroid nodules are gradually gaining attention due to their potential malignancy. Early detection and active intervention are key to improving prognosis. Therefore, establishing a predictive model for assessing the risk of high-risk thyroid nodules is crucial for adjunctive diagnosis. Methods: The clinical data of patients with thyroid nodules admitted to the Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from October 2023 to June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System classification, the patients were divided into a low-to-moderate risk group and a high-risk group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of high-risk thyroid nodules, and a nomogram was constructed. Internal validation was conducted using bootstrap resampling methods. The predictive performance of the model was evaluated by comparing the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, the calibration curve, and the decision curve. Results: A total of 164 patients with thyroid nodules were included in this study, with an average age of 42.31 years. Among them, 101 patients (61.59%) were diagnosed as high-risk for thyroid nodules. Dietary diversity score (OR: 0.773, 95% CI = 0.639-0.934) and nodule diameter (OR: 0.909, 95% CI = 0.871-0.95) were protective factors for high-risk thyroid nodules, while sedentary time of more than two hours per day (OR: 2.8, 95% CI = 1.276-6.148), the Athens Insomnia Scale score (OR: 1.078, 95% CI = 1.01-1.15), and elevated weight (OR: 1.049, 95% CI = 1.008-1.09) were independent risk factors (all P<0.05). Conclusion: The nomogram model we constructed shows good predictive performance for high-risk thyroid nodules after internal validation, and may serve as a practical tool to guide the formulation of disease prevention strategies.
