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

purposeThe training of deep learning (DL) models in medical images requires large amounts of sensitive patient data. However, acquiring adequately labeled datasets is challenging because of the heavy workload of manual annotations and the stringent privacy protocols.

methodsFederated learning (FL) provides an alternative approach in which a coalition of clients collaboratively trains models without exchanging the underlying datasets. In this study, a novel Personalized Federated Learning Framework (PAF-Fed) is presented for abdominal multi-organ segmentation. Different from traditional FL algorithms, PAF-Fed selectively gathers partial model parameters for inter-client collaboration, retaining the remaining parameters to learn local data distributions at individual sites. Additionally, the Fourier Transform with the Self-attention mechanism is employed to aggregate the low-frequency components of parameters, promoting the extraction of shared knowledge and tackling statistical heterogeneity from diverse client datasets.

resultsThe proposed method was evaluated on the Combined Healthy Abdominal Organ Segmentation magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) dataset (CHAOS 2019) and a private computed tomography (CT) dataset, achieving an average Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) of 72.65% for CHAOS and 85.50% for the private CT dataset, respectively.

conclusionThe experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our PAF-Fed by outperforming state-of-the-art FL methods.
