Optimized protocols for culturing and sectioning mouse intestinal organoids: enhancing efficiency and structural integrity.
Article in MethodsX, 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
Mouse intestinal organoids are essential 3D models that retain host genetic characteristics and complex architecture, making them invaluable for intestinal biology research. However, traditional cultivation and histological processing often suffer from high operational complexity and sample loss during sectioning. This protocol provides an optimized workflow for the establishment of mouse intestinal organoid cultures and their subsequent preparation for immunohistochemistry and fluorescence staining. By refining the handling steps, the method significantly reduces total operational time while enhancing experimental quality. Furthermore, the protocol addresses common challenges in structural integrity, ensuring that the delicate crypt-villus morphology remains intact during the sectioning process. This comprehensive approach offers a robust framework for high-quality histological analysis, supported by a comparative evaluation with traditional methods to guide researchers in different experimental contexts.•Introduces a direct pellet-OCT embedding strategy that minimizes organoid transfer and sample loss during histological processing.•Enables high-quality frozen sections compatible with H&E, Alcian Blue, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence staining.•Provides a practical alternative to conventional agarose-paraffin workflows while preserving organoid morphology and reducing processing complexity.
