Enhancing medical image security with quantum DNA dual encryption.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 patient secrecy and maintaining data integrity are critical in healthcare information security. With increasing demands for stronger protection in the management and storage of medical images, this study introduces an innovative framework utilizing chaos-based quantum encryption for enhanced security. This approach combines a DNA codec with the QFBT (Quantum Fibonacci Transform), creating a unique dual-encryption method for quantum color images. The process begins with converting a standard color image to quantum data through GQIR (Generalized Quantum Image Representation) technique. A DNA codec then encodes and decodes the pixel color data of the quantum image, achieving pixel-level diffusion. Finally, the QFBT is applied to scramble the image's spatial data. The resulting transformed image is then used as the key matrix in quantum XOR functions. Findings from the experiment indicate that both the correlation and peak value of the encrypted image histograms show strong similarity. The mean NPCR (Normalized Pixel Change Rate) for the RGB channels is 99.63%, while UACI (Uniform Average Change Intensity) is 33.43%. Additionally, the mean information entropy is approximately 7.9992. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of QDIES in providing robust security for medical image data.
