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

Modern machine learning models toward various tasks with omic data analysis give rise to threats of privacy leakage of patients involved in those datasets. Here, we proposed a secure and privacy-preserving machine learning method (PPML-Omics) by designing a decentralized differential private federated learning algorithm. We applied PPML-Omics to analyze data from three sequencing technologies and addressed the privacy concern in three major tasks of omic data under three representative deep learning models. We examined privacy breaches in depth through privacy attack experiments and demonstrated that PPML-Omics could protect patients' privacy. In each of these applications, PPML-Omics was able to outperform methods of comparison under the same level of privacy guarantee, demonstrating the versatility of the method in simultaneously balancing the privacy-preserving capability and utility in omic data analysis. Furthermore, we gave the theoretical proof of the privacy-preserving capability of PPML-Omics, suggesting the first mathematically guaranteed method with robust and generalizable empirical performance in protecting patients' privacy in omic data.
