AI-Assisted High-Throughput Tissue Microarray Workflow.
Article in Methods and protocols, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Immunohistochemical (IHC) studies of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples are a gold standard in oncology for tumor characterization, and the identification of prognostic and predictive markers. However, despite the abundance of archived FFPE samples, their research use is limited due to the labor-intensive nature of IHC on large cohorts. This study aimed to create a high-throughput workflow using modern technologies to facilitate IHC biomarker studies on large patient groups. Semiautomatic constructed tissue microarrays (TMAs) were created for two tumor patient cohorts and IHC stained for seven antibodies (ABs). AB expression in the tumor and surrounding stroma was quantified using the AI-supported image analysis software QuPath. The data were correlated with clinicopathological information using an R-script, all results were automatically compiled into formatted reports. By minimizing labor time to 7.7%-compared to whole-slide studies-the established workflow significantly reduced human and material resource consumption. It successfully correlated AB expression with overall patient survival and additional clinicopathological data, providing publication-ready figures and tables. The AI-assisted high-throughput TMA workflow, validated on two patient cohorts, streamlines modern histopathological research by offering cost and time efficiency compared to traditional whole-slide studies. It maintains research quality and preserves patient tissue while significantly reducing material and human resources, making it ideal for high-throughput research centers and collaborations.
