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

Thyroglobulin (Tg) is a proven tumor marker in the follow-up and post-operative management of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). All assays for serum thyroglobulin (s-Tg) are based on immunoassays, however, the assay technique has a bearing on the variations seen in the estimations. We studied this using four in-house developed radioimmunoassays (RIA) and immunoradiometric assays (IRMA). Limit of detection, working range, recovery, dilution test, precision profiles and method comparison were evaluated. All four methods were used for the estimation of s-Tg in DTC patients and also compared for their performance using commercially available Tg IRMA kits from DiaSorin and Izotop. The s-Tg values measured by six different immunoassays showed very significant inter-method correlation (0.84-0.99,
