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

We present a systemic approach to devise and deploy Privacy Preserving Record Linkage (PPRL) systems using asymmetric key cryptography and illustrate the strengths of such an approach. With our approach, the security implications of sharing a common secret salt across the network may be avoided, allowing the local participating sites to use private keys along with the current cryptographic hashes to maximally secure their own data. In addition, the final cyphertext tokens are compatible with those used by existing record linkage modules, allowing seamless integration with the existing PPRL infrastructures for downstream analysis. Finally, study-specific hash production requires action only by the central party. The main intuition for this work is derived from how asymmetric key approaches have enabled internet-scale applications. We demonstrate that such a design, where the local sites no longer need special-purpose software, affords greater flexibility and scalability for large scale multi-site linkage studies.
