Issues in federated learning: some experiments and preliminary results.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
The growing need for data privacy and security in machine learning has led to exploring novel approaches like federated learning (FL) that allow collaborative training on distributed datasets, offering a decentralized alternative to traditional data collection methods. A prime benefit of FL is its emphasis on privacy, enabling data to stay on local devices by moving models instead of data. Despite its pioneering nature, FL faces issues such as diversity in data types, model complexity, privacy concerns, and the need for efficient resource distribution. This paper illustrates an empirical analysis of these challenges within specially designed scenarios, each aimed at studying a specific problem. In particular, differently from existing literature, we isolate the issues that can arise in an FL framework to observe their nature without the interference of external factors.
