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

Tissues are complex environments where different cell types are in constant interaction with each other and with non-cellular components. Preserving the spatial context during proteomics analyses of tissue samples has become an important objective for different applications, one of the most important being the investigation of the tumor microenvironment. Here, we describe a multiplexed protein biomarker detection method on the COMET instrument, coined sequential ImmunoFluorescence (seqIF). The fully automated method uses successive applications of antibody incubation and elution, and in-situ imaging enabled by an integrated microscope and a microfluidic chip that provides optimized optical access to the sample. We show seqIF data on different sample types such as tumor and healthy tissue, including 40-plex on a single tissue section that is obtained in less than 24 h, using off-the-shelf antibodies. We also present extensive characterization of the developed method, including elution efficiency, epitope stability, repeatability and reproducibility, signal uniformity, and dynamic range, in addition to marker and panel optimization strategies. The streamlined workflow using off-the-shelf antibodies, data quality enabling downstream analysis, and ease of reaching hyperplex levels make seqIF suitable for immune-oncology research and other disciplines requiring spatial analysis, paving the way for its adoption in clinical settings.
