Pathology Laboratory Archive at the University and Hospital Trust of Modena/UNIMORE: "Disaster Recovery" frame by frame.
Article in Pathologica, 2025. 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
The archive of any Pathology laboratory contains thousand of formalin-fixed and paraffin- embedded (FFPE) blocks and, as a result, serious space and management issues are created. Different authorities (with some variabilty) indicated that 10 years from the diagnosis is a congruous time before the disposal of stored tissues. Therefore, making room is not only a choice, but a necessity. Nowadays specific operating procedures exist, fully managed by human personnel. However, despite guidelines and recommendations, some accidents can occur: such events are often without any consequence but sometimes may cause serious damage for patients. In this paper we report an unwanted event that occurred in our archive in June 2024 during the collection of FFPE blocks from the year 2004 for elimination, which could have had dramatic consequences. We then highlight that innovation and automation of Pathology archives are the key of the custody of patient samples.
