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

In the digital age, privacy preservation is of paramount importance while processing health-related sensitive information. This paper explores the integration of Federated Learning (FL) and Differential Privacy (DP) for breast cancer detection, leveraging FL's decentralized architecture to enable collaborative model training across healthcare organizations without exposing raw patient data. To enhance privacy, DP injects statistical noise into the updates made by the model. This mitigates adversarial attacks and prevents data leakage. The proposed work uses the Breast Cancer Wisconsin Diagnostic dataset to address critical challenges such as data heterogeneity, privacy-accuracy trade-offs, and computational overhead. From the experimental results, FL combined with DP achieves 96.1% accuracy with a privacy budget of ε = 1.9, ensuring strong privacy preservation with minimal performance trade-offs. In comparison, the traditional non-FL model achieved 96.0% accuracy, but at the cost of requiring centralized data storage, which poses significant privacy risks. These findings validate the feasibility of privacy-preserving artificial intelligence models in real-world clinical applications, effectively balancing data protection with reliable medical predictions.
