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

Recent studies demonstrate that effective healthcare can benefit from using the human genomic information. Consequently, many institutions are using statistical analysis of genomic data, which are mostly based on genome-wide association studies (GWAS). GWAS analyze genome sequence variations in order to identify genetic risk factors for diseases. These studies often require pooling data from different sources together in order to unravel statistical patterns, and relationships between genetic variants and diseases. Here, the primary challenge is to fulfill one major objective: accessing multiple genomic data repositories for collaborative research in a privacy-preserving manner. Due to the privacy concerns regarding the genomic data, multi-jurisdictional laws and policies of cross-border genomic data sharing are enforced among different countries. In this article, we present SAFETY, a hybrid framework, which can securely perform GWAS on federated genomic datasets using homomorphic encryption and recently introduced secure hardware component of Intel Software Guard Extensions to ensure high efficiency and privacy at the same time. Different experimental settings show the efficacy and applicability of such hybrid framework in secure conduction of GWAS. To the best of our knowledge, this hybrid use of homomorphic encryption along with Intel SGX is not proposed to this date. SAFETY is up to 4.82 times faster than the best existing secure computation technique.
