Manual Immunofluorescence of Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded Human Tumor Tissues.

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
Immunofluorescence (IF) of tumor tissues has become a key tool in the study of cancer. With a wide variety of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) preserved tissues available, there are possibilities to assess large cohorts using archived tissue which may have archived associated clinical outcomes. Although best practice guidelines for the assessment of tissues have been published, a standardized method for immunofluorescence of FFPE tumor tissues is elusive. Here we provide a protocol for using classical secondary fluorescent antibodies that bind directly to the primary antibody of interest. This protocol can easily be adapted to use several primary antibodies, of different species, with unique secondary fluorophores that correspond to each species of origin. It can also be adapted for cyclic amplification-based immunofluorescence of FFPE tissues. We aim to provide a beginner-friendly and highly accessible method for immunofluorescence of FFPE-embedded tissues, hoping to enable more laboratories to take on this highly informative technique and empower them to begin IF analysis in their own tissues of interest.
