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

The reproducibility of immunohistochemistry in tumor tissue analysis across reference labs remains a persistent challenge. We tested the extent to which an intra-slide calibration technology mitigated discprepencies in inter-laboratory assays of p53 immunohistochemical (IHC) reactions in brain biopsies of glioblastoma (GB), IDH-wildtype. Intra-slide calibration technologies apply a 0-100% concentration scale incorporating primary surrogate and secondary antibodies to generate a standardized curve for DAB precipitation. IHC from GB samples was performed independently by pathology departments from two different hospital laboratories and were digitalized at 40x magnification using Aperio Image Scope software. Feature extraction, including intensity and texture parameters was performed using the
