A quick protocol for the preparation of mouse retinal cryosections for immunohistochemistry.
Article in Open biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) using mouse retinal cryosections is widely used to study the expression and intracellular localization of proteins in mouse retinas. Conventionally, the preparation of retinal cryosections from mice involves tissue fixation, cryoprotection, the removal of the cornea and lens, embedding and sectioning. The procedure takes 1-2 days to complete. Recently, we developed a new technique for the preparation of murine retinal cryosections by coating the sclera with a layer of Super Glue. This enables us to remove the cornea and extract the lens from the unfixed murine eye without causing the eyecup to collapse. In the present study, based on this new technique, we move a step forward to modify the conventional protocol. Unlike in the conventional protocol, in this method, we first coat the unfixed mouse eyeball on the sclera with Super Glue and then remove the cornea and lens. The eyecup is then fixed, cryoprotected and sectioned. This new protocol for the preparation of retinal cryosections reduces the time for the procedure to as little as 2 h. Importantly, the new protocol consistently improves the morphology of retinal sections as well as the image quality of IHC. Thus, this new quick protocol will be greatly beneficial to the community of visual sciences by expediting research progress and improving the results of IHC.
