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

Federated learning (FL)-a distributed machine learning that offers collaborative training of global models across multiple clients. FL has been considered for the design and development of many FL systems in various domains. Hence, we present a comprehensive survey and analysis of existing FL systems, drawing insights from more than 250 articles published in 2019-2024. Our review elucidates the functioning of FL systems, particularly in comparison with alternative distributed learning approaches. Considering the healthcare domain as an example, we define the building blocks of a typical FL healthcare system, including system architecture, federation scale, data partitioning, open-source frameworks, ML models, and aggregation algorithms. Furthermore, we identify and discuss key challenges associated with the design and implementation of FL systems within the healthcare sector while outlining the directions of future research. In general, through systematic categorization and analysis of existing FL systems, we offer insights to design efficient, accurate, and privacy-preserving healthcare applications using cutting-edge FL techniques.
