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) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for privacy-preserving, collaborative training of machine learning models, particularly valuable in fields like digital pathology, where data sharing is constrained by institutional policies and regulatory concerns. This chapter presents a reproducible computational pipeline for whole-slide image (WSI) classification in digital neuropathology using a federated learning framework. In addition to outlining the end-to-end implementation, including preprocessing, model training, and deployment, we highlight key challenges specific to applying FL in WSI analysis, such as data heterogeneity and communication efficiency. Detailed code snippets, implementation guidance, and deployment recommendations are provided to support real-world adoption. We hope this chapter serves as a valuable resource for neuropathologists, researchers, and machine learning practitioners aiming to bridge technology and medical science in the evolving landscape of digital neuropathology.
