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

The tumor microenvironment (TME), composed of immune cells, antigens, and local soluble factors, is integral to cancer development and progression. Traditional techniques such as immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, or flow cytometry limit the analysis of spatial data and cellular interactions within the TME, as they are restricted to colocalization of a small number of antigens or the loss of tissue architecture. Multiplex fluorescent immunohistochemistry (mfIHC) allows for detection of multiple antigens within a single tissue sample, providing a more comprehensive description of tissue composition and spatial interactions within the TME. This technique utilizes antigen retrieval, application of primary and secondary antibodies, followed by a tyramide-based chemical reaction to covalently bind a fluorophore to an epitope of interest and, eventually, stripping of the antibodies. This allows for multiple rounds of antibody application without concern for species cross-reactivity, as well as signal amplification which abrogates the autofluorescence that frequently plagues analysis of fixed tissues. As such, mfIHC can be used to quantify multiple cellular populations and their interactions, in situ, unlocking key biologic data that was previously unavailable. This chapter provides an overview of the experimental design, staining, and imaging strategies using a manual technique in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections.
