Phrases like "the test is extremely valuable" are opinions that should be supported by more than the authors found outside of the published studies in order to be considered encyclopedic. If the result is noted in secondary sources (WP:PSTS): review articles or textbooks; that is the gold standard for reliable sources (WP:MEDRS). Numerous associations between lab tests have been made, but the relevance is established by the fact that they are noted beyond a one-time publication (primary source). Even if a study finds potential utility in identifying a condition, it may be used in clinical practice.Novangelis (talk) 06:42, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
