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

In recent years, there has been an enormous demand for the security of image multimedia in healthcare organizations. Many schemes have been developed for the security preservation of data in e-health systems however the schemes are not adaptive and cannot resist chosen and known-plaintext attacks. In this contribution, we present an adaptive framework aimed at preserving the security and confidentiality of images transmitted through an e-healthcare system. Our scheme utilizes the 3D-chaotic system to generate a keystream which is used to perform 8-bit and 2-bit permutations of the image. We perform pixel diffusion by a key-image generated using the Piecewise Linear Chaotic Map (PWLCM). We calculate an image parameter using the pixels of the image and perform criss-cross diffusion to enhance security. We evaluate the scheme's performance in terms of histogram analysis, information entropy analysis, statistical analysis, and differential analysis. Using the scheme, we obtain the average Number of Pixels Change Rate (NPCR) and Unified Average Changing Intensity (UACI) values for an image of size 256 × 256 equal to 99.5996 and 33.499 respectively. Furthermore, the average entropy is 7.9971 and the average Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) is 7.4756. We further test the scheme on 50 chest X-Ray images of patients having COVID-19 and viral pneumonia and found the average values of variance, PSNR, entropy, and Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) to be 257.6268, 7.7389, 7.9971, and 0.0089 respectively. Furthermore, the scheme generates completely uniform histograms for medical images which reveals that the scheme can resist statistical attacks and can be applied as a security framework in AI-based healthcare.
