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 dimeric glycoprotein produced exclusively by mature thyroid tissue and stored within the follicular lumen. It is essential for the organification of iodine and the production of thyroid hormones. The concentration of TG in the bloodstream varies between individuals and depends on factors such as thyroid mass, stimulation of the gland by thyrotropin or autoantibodies, and tissue destruction. TG is essential to monitor patients with differentiated thyroid cancer; however, its use is not limited only to this clinical entity. Measurement of circulating TG can provide better insight into numerous clinical scenarios, such as destructive thyroiditis, presence of ectopic thyroid tissue, thyroid trauma, factitious thyrotoxicosis, or iodine nutrition. Lately, TG has found its new clinical use in immune checkpoint-related thyroid dysfunction. TG measurement should be performed carefully in patients with antithyroglobulin antibodies due to possible laboratory interferences. In this review, we offer a summary of current knowledge about the clinical use of TG and the implications it brings to daily practice.
