A blockchain-integrated chaotic fractal encryption scheme for secure medical imaging in industrial IoT settings.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 increasing adoption of smart cameras and image sensors in industrial and medical applications necessitates robust visual data security solutions. The industrial Internet of Things (IoT) introduces unique security challenges, particularly due to third-party involvement, which undermines traditional security mechanisms. This study presents a three-layered encryption scheme integrating novel blockchain technology with chaotic fractal image encryption scheme to address these challenges. The encryption process combines an S-box generated from the May map for pixel substitution with fractal-based key generation using a logistic map-driven Sierpinski triangle and incorporates a Chebyshev map-based diffusion step for enhanced randomness and security. Extensive testing, including key sensitivity analysis, entropy calculations (average entropy: 7.9998), NPCR (99.92%), UACI (33.31%), and PSNR values (29.74 dB for encrypted images), validates the scheme's robustness. The results confirm high resistance to differential and brute-force attacks, making the scheme highly suitable for securing sensitive medical images in IoT environments while ensuring confidentiality and integrity.
