Microwave-Based Rapid Tissue Processing Technique: A Novel Aid in Histopathologic Laboratory.

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
introductionConventional tissue processing takes a lot of time, but microwave processing method though rapid, its quality of tissue texture and staining properties is still questionable. Therefore, we conducted this study to find out the reliability of histological sections in the microwave method. AIM AND
objectivesThe aim is to assess whether microwave tissue processing, which is a rapid technique, is comparable to conventional tissue processing in terms of quality and reliability of histological sections. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 80 formalin-fixed tissue samples were taken and were divided into two pieces. One subjected to conventional tissue processing and the other subjected to microwave tissue processing. The slides were coded and evaluated by three independent observers using various parameters. All the data were subjected to Chi-square test.
resultsBoth the process did not differ in their efficiency in overall nuclear details, overall cytoplasmic detail, occurrence of artifact and tissue architecture, nuclear staining, cytoplasmic staining, and red blood cell staining. Although the other observers did not find any statistical significance, according to observer 3, conventional processing proved to have marginally significantly better epithelial connective tissue interface than microwave processing (
conclusionThe microwave method of tissue processing is an economical procedure which reduces the obnoxious chemicals as well as the turnaround time.
