PP-GWAS: Privacy Preserving Multi-Site Genome-wide Association Studies.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Genome-wide association studies help uncover genetic influences on complex traits and diseases. Importantly, multi-site data collaborations enhance the statistical power of these studies but pose challenges due to the sensitivity of genomic data. Existing privacy-preserving approaches to performing multi-site genome-wide association studies rely on computationally expensive cryptographic techniques, which limit applicability. To address this, we present PP-GWAS, a privacy-preserving algorithm that improves efficiency and scalability while maintaining data privacy. Our method leverages randomized encoding within a distributed framework to perform stacked ridge regression on a linear mixed model, enabling robust analysis of quantitative phenotypes. We show experimentally using real-world and synthetic data that our approach achieves twice the computational speed of comparable methods while reducing resource consumption.
