A brief update on mass spectrometry applications to routine clinical endocrinology.
Review in Clinical mass spectrometry (Del Mar, Calif.), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Mass spectrometry in clinical laboratories has traditionally focussed on small molecule analysis making endocrinology applications a natural choice given the numerous diagnostic targets in the steroid family, many of which could be multiplexed. Over time, methods for lower abundance steroids were successfully translated meaning that almost all small molecule targets in clinical endocrinology could be performed using mass spectrometry. This has paved the way for standardization efforts which have ultimately forced the improvements in the immunoassay industry. More recently, however improvements in quantitative mass spectrometric protein workflows have permitted the translation of a number of specific protein targets into routine analysis. In addition to the benefits in analytical specificity, judicious selection of peptide targets has permitted simultaneous quantitation and phenotyping in some cases. Mass spectrometry continues to clarify previously unnoticed but significant analytical problems with commercial immunoassays and permits the investigation of interferences in individual patient cases on an
