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

Spatial organization of molecules and cells in complex tissue microenvironments provides essential organizational cues in health and disease. A significant need exists for improved visualization of these spatial relationships. Here, we describe a multiplex immunofluorescence imaging method, termed SeqStain, that uses fluorescent-DNA-labeled antibodies for immunofluorescent staining and nuclease treatment for de-staining that allows selective enzymatic removal of the fluorescent signal. SeqStain can be used with primary antibodies, secondary antibodies, and antibody fragments to efficiently analyze complex cells and tissues. Additionally, incorporation of specific endonuclease restriction sites in antibody labels allows for selective removal of fluorescent signals while retaining other signals that can serve as marks for subsequent analyses. The application of SeqStain on human kidney tissue provided a spatialomic profile of the organization of >25 markers in the kidney, highlighting it as a versatile, easy-to-use, and gentle new technique for spatialomic analyses of complex microenvironments.
