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

Training generalizable computational pathology (CPATH) algorithms is heavily dependent on large-scale, multi-institutional data. Simultaneously, healthcare data underlies strict data privacy rules, hindering the creation of large datasets. Federated Learning (FL) is a paradigm addressing this dilemma, by allowing separate institutions to collaborate in a training process while keeping each institution's data private and exchanging model parameters instead. In this study, we identify and review key developments of FL for CPATH applications. We consider 15 studies, thereby evaluating the current status of exploring and adapting this emerging technology for CPATH applications. Proof-of-concept studies have been conducted across a wide range of CPATH use cases, showcasing the performance equivalency of models trained in a federated compared to a centralized manner. Six studies focus on model aggregation or model alignment methods reporting minor (
