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

This paper presents a federated learning (FL) approach to train deep learning models for classifying age-related macular degeneration (AMD) using optical coherence tomography image data. We employ the use of residual network and vision transformer encoders for the normal vs. AMD binary classification, integrating four unique domain adaptation techniques to address domain shift issues caused by heterogeneous data distribution in different institutions. Experimental results indicate that FL strategies can achieve competitive performance similar to centralized models even though each local model has access to a portion of the training data. Notably, the Adaptive Personalization FL strategy stood out in our FL evaluations, consistently delivering high performance across all tests due to its additional local model. Furthermore, the study provides valuable insights into the efficacy of simpler architectures in image classification tasks, particularly in scenarios where data privacy and decentralization are critical using both encoders. It suggests future exploration into deeper models and other FL strategies for a more nuanced understanding of these models' performance. Data and code are available at https://github.com/QIAIUNCC/FL_UNCC_QIAI.
