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

Objectives: To verify that federated genomic study sites applied identical preprocessing pipelines without disclosing raw genotypes. Materials and Methods: Each institution perturbs a 100-SNP slice using local differential privacy (LDP), trains a RandomForest classifier, and transmits one LIME explanation vector to a coordinating server. The server simulates 15 preprocessing combinations and trains a RandomForest classifier to predict each site's configuration. Results: In centralized simulation, the verifier achieved 80% accuracy across 15 preprocessing configurations on the GMMAT ( Discussion: A single differentially private explanation vector provides an auditable preprocessing fingerprint. The gap between centralized and distributed accuracy reflects expected FL data partitioning effects. Conclusion: This framework demonstrates the feasibility of automated preprocessing verification in federated genomic consortia without compromising participant privacy.
