National Tissue Freezing Protocol is Essential for Modern Cancer Care and Research.
Article in Trends in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Modern cancer care and precision medicine increasingly rely on high quality human tissue yet tissue preservation practices in many healthcare systems remain outdated. Traditional formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues while long established, is poorly suited to modern molecular and multi-omics technologies due to chemical degradation of DNA, RNA, and proteins. In contrast tissue freezing preserves molecular integrity and enables advanced proteomics, transcriptomics, genomics, and metabolomics analyses that are essential for accurate diagnosis, treatment selection, and biomedical research. To address these disparities, there is a compelling case for adopting a fixed nationally agreed tissue freezing protocol such a protocol should be implemented across all hospitals and aligned with consent, storage, and transport standards. Without a standardized protocol valuable tissue samples may become unsuitable for modern diagnostics ultimately constraining both patient care and scientific advancement.
