Privacy-preserving federated learning for collaborative medical data mining in multi-institutional 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 23 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
Ensuring data privacy in medical image classification is a critical challenge in healthcare, especially with the increasing reliance on AI-driven diagnostics. In fact, over 30% of healthcare organizations globally have experienced a data breach in the last year, highlighting the need for secure solutions. This study investigates the integration of transfer learning and federated learning for privacy-preserving medical image classification using GoogLeNet and VGG16 as baseline models to evaluate the generalizability of the proposed framework. Pre-trained on ImageNet and fine-tuned on three specialized medical datasets for TB chest X-rays, brain tumor MRI scans, and diabetic retinopathy images, these models achieved high classification accuracy across various aggregation methods. Additionally, the proposed dynamic aggregation method was further analyzed using modern architectures, EfficientNetV2 and ResNet-RS, to assess the scalability and robustness of the model. A key contribution is the introduction of a novel adaptive aggregation method, which dynamically alternates between Federated Averaging (FedAvg) and Federated Stochastic Gradient Descent (FedSGD), based on data divergence during communication rounds. This approach optimizes model convergence while preserving privacy in collaborative settings. The results demonstrate that transfer learning, when combined with federated learning, offers a scalable, robust, and secure solution for real-world medical diagnostics, enabling healthcare institutions to train highly accurate models without compromising sensitive patient data.
