sfkit: a web-based toolkit for secure and federated genomic analysis.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Advances in genomics are increasingly depending upon the ability to analyze large and diverse genomic data collections, which are often difficult to amass due to privacy concerns. Recent works have shown that it is possible to jointly analyze datasets held by multiple parties, while provably preserving the privacy of each party's dataset using cryptographic techniques. However, these tools have been challenging to use in practice due to the complexities of the required setup and coordination among the parties. We present sfkit, a secure and federated toolkit for collaborative genomic studies, to allow groups of collaborators to easily perform joint analyses of their datasets without compromising privacy. sfkit consists of a web server and a command-line interface, which together support a range of use cases including both auto-configured and user-supplied computational environments. sfkit provides collaborative workflows for the essential tasks of genome-wide association study (GWAS) and principal component analysis (PCA). We envision sfkit becoming a one-stop server for secure collaborative tools for a broad range of genomic analyses. sfkit is open-source and available at: https://sfkit.org.
