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

Tissues are dynamic and complex biological systems composed of specialized cell types that interact with each other for proper biological function. To comprehensively characterize and understand the cell circuitry underlying biological processes within tissues, it is crucial to preserve their spatial information. Here we report a simple mounting technique to maximize the area of the tissue to be analyzed, encompassing the whole length of the murine gastrointestinal (GI) tract, from mouth to rectum. Using this method, analysis of the whole murine GI tract can be performed in a single slide not only by means of histological staining, immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization but also by multiplexed antibody staining and spatial transcriptomic approaches. We demonstrate the utility of our method in generating a comprehensive gene and protein expression profile of the whole GI tract by combining the versatile tissue-rolling technique with a cutting-edge transcriptomics method (Visium) and two cutting-edge proteomics methods (ChipCytometry and CODEX-PhenoCycler) in a systematic and easy-to-follow step-by-step procedure. The entire process, including tissue rolling, processing and sectioning, can be achieved within 2-3 d for all three methods. For Visium spatial transcriptomics, an additional 2 d are needed, whereas for spatial proteomics assays (ChipCytometry and CODEX-PhenoCycler), another 3-4 d might be considered. The whole process can be accomplished by researchers with skills in performing murine surgery, and standard histological and molecular biology methods.
