1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo develop a nomogram model combining ultrasound radiomics and clinical features and to evaluate its predictive value for pathological invasiveness of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).

methodsThis study included 224 patients diagnosed with PTC between January 2024 and May 2025 at Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital. Baseline clinical data, laboratory findings, and raw ultrasound images were collected. The patients were randomly divided into a training cohort (

resultsThe clinical feature model based solely on nodule size achieved AUCs of 0.889 (95%CI: 0.843-0.935) and 0.934 (95%CI: 0.860-0.973) in the training and testing cohorts, respectively. Thirteen ultrasound radiomics features were selected. The radiomics model built with logistic regression yielded AUCs of 0.846 (95%CI: 0.791-0.902) and 0.939 (95%CI: 0.871-1.000) in the training and testing cohorts, respectively. The nomogram combining ultrasound radiomics and clinical features achieved AUCs of 0.902 (95%CI: 0.858-0.945) in the training cohort, 0.982 (95%CI: 0.953-1.000) in the testing cohort, and 0.803 (95%CI: 0.665-0.941) in the independent validation cohort. Calibration curves demonstrated good agreement between predicted and observed probabilities, and clinical decision curves indicated favorable net clinical benefit.

conclusionsA nomogram model combining ultrasound radiomics and clinical features was successfully developed, which exhibited good discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility.
