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

Background: Despite its clear advantages over immunoassay-based testing, the measurement of serum thyroglobulin by mass spectrometry remains limited to a handful of institutions. Slow adoption by clinical laboratories could reflect limited accessibility to existing methods that have sensitivity comparable to modern immunoassays, as well as a lack of tools for calibration and assay harmonization. Methods: We developed and validated a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-based assay for the quantification of serum thyroglobulin. The protocol combined peptide immunoaffinity purification using a commercially available, well-characterized monoclonal antibody and mobile phase modification with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) for enhanced sensitivity. To facilitate harmonization with other laboratories, we developed a novel, serum-based 5-point distributable reference material (Husky Ref). Results: The assay demonstrated a lower limit of quantification of 0.15 ng/mL (<20 %CV). Mobile phase DMSO increased signal intensity of the target peptide at least 3-fold, improving quantification at low concentrations. Calibration traceable to Husky Ref enabled harmonization between laboratories in an interlaboratory study. Conclusions: Sensitive mass spectrometry-based thyroglobulin measurement can be achieved using a monoclonal antibody during peptide immunoaffinity purification and the addition of mobile phase DMSO. Laboratories interested in deploying this assay can utilize the provided standard operating procedure and freely-available Husky Ref reference material.
