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

Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture models such as spheroids and organoids are widely used in the field of experimental biology. To analyze these 3D experimental models, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) sections are superior to whole-mount imaging for some experimental purposes, such as exploring samples with a depth limitation of primary antibody penetration immunohistochemically. However, tiny 3D cell culture samples are difficult to embed in paraffin and acquire appropriate sections. In this report, we optimized a protocol of paraffin embedding for spheroids and organoids. In addition, we compared FFPE sections with frozen sections in ratio of sample collection and section condition after staining, and could reproduce improved results reliably. The protocol we established could be widely used in many laboratories and become a useful technique for analyzing spheroids and organoids.
