The implementation of blinded analysis involves several key steps:
1. Sample Coding: Each tissue sample is assigned a unique code that does not reveal any information about its origin or the experimental group it belongs to. 2. Independent Handling: The coded samples are handled by individuals who are not involved in the analysis to ensure that the identities remain concealed. 3. Blinded Evaluation: Pathologists or researchers conduct the microscopic examination and evaluation of the samples without knowledge of the codes, thereby avoiding any bias in their observations and conclusions. 4. Data Decoding: After the analysis is complete, the codes are decoded, and the results are correlated with the original sample information.
