Optimized Protocol for Intestinal Swiss Rolls and Immunofluorescent Staining of Paraffin Embedded Tissue.
Article in Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
The intestine is a complex organ composed of the small and the large intestines. The small intestine can be further divided into duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. Each anatomical region of the intestine has a unique function that is reflected by differences in cellular structure. Investigating changes in the intestine requires an in-depth analysis of different tissue regions and cellular alterations. To study the intestine and visualize large pieces of tissue, researchers commonly use a technique known as intestinal Swiss rolls. In this technique, the intestine is divided into each anatomical region and fixed in a flat orientation. Then, the tissue is carefully rolled and processed for paraffin embedding. Proper tissue fixation and orientation is an often-overlooked laboratory technique but is critically important for downstream analysis. Additionally, improper Swiss rolling of intestinal tissue can damage the fragile intestinal epithelium, leading to poor tissue quality for immunostaining. Ensuring well-fixed and properly oriented tissue with intact cellular structures is a crucial step that ensures optimal visualization of intestinal cells. We present a cost-effective and simple method for making Swiss rolls to include all sections of the intestine in a single paraffin-embedded block. We also describe optimized immunofluorescence staining of intestinal tissue to study various aspects of the intestinal epithelium. The following protocol provides researchers with a comprehensive guide to obtaining high-quality immunofluorescence images through intestinal tissue fixation, Swiss-roll technique, and immunostaining. Employing these refined approaches preserves the intricate morphology of the intestinal epithelium and fosters a deeper understanding of intestinal physiology and pathobiology.
