Revisiting Thyroglobulin Measurement: Current Methods and Future Perspectives Using Dried Blood Spot Sampling for Enhanced Clinical Practice.
Review in Metabolites, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In contemporary medical practice, human thyroglobulin (Tg) stands out as the primary serum biomarker for detecting recurrence or persistence (presence of residual tumor) of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) in patients post-thyroidectomy. Immunoassays (IMAs) and radioimmunoassays (RIAs) have been implemented in clinical settings to gauge Tg levels. However, these methods can be unreliable because anti-thyroglobulin antibodies (Tg-Abs) and heterophile antibodies (HAs) interfere with assay binding, leading to either under- or overestimation of true Tg concentrations. Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has emerged as a distinctive alternative tool for Tg measurements. Despite its potential, the effectiveness of LC-MS/MS is under ongoing investigation. This review aims to provide a clear overview of existing follow-up procedures for Tg quantification and evaluate the potential of mass spectrometry (MS) in Tg analysis. The distinctive contribution of this review is the introduction of an emerging approach combining dried blood spots (DBSs) with LC-MS/MS for Tg measurement, emphasizing their translational potential for clinical follow-up of DTC patients.
