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

objectiveThe increasing use of audio-video (AV) data in healthcare has improved patient care, clinical training, and medical and ethnographic research. However, it has also introduced major challenges in preserving patient-provider privacy due to Protected Health Information (PHI) in such data. Traditional de-identification methods are inadequate for AV data, which can reveal identifiable information such as faces, voices, and environmental details. Our goal was to create a pipeline for de-identifying AV healthcare data that minimized the human effort required to guarantee successful de-identification.

methodsWe combined open-source tools with novel methods and infrastructure into a six-stage pipeline: (1) transcript extraction using WhisperX, (2) transcript de-identification with an adapted PHIlter, (3) audio de-identification through scrubbing, (4) video de-identification using YOLOv11 for pose detection and blurring, (5) recombining de-identified audio and video, and (6) validation and correction via manual quality control (QC). We developed two de-identification strategies to support different tolerances for lossy video images. We evaluated this pipeline using 10 h of simulated clinical AV recordings, comprising nearly 1.1 million video frames and approximately 72,000 words.

resultsIn Precision Privacy Preservation (PPP) mode, MedVidDeId achieved a success rate of 50%, while in Greedy Privacy Preservation (GPP) mode, it achieved a 97.5% success rate. Compared to manual methods for a 15 min video segment, the pipeline reduced de-identification time by 26.7% in PPP and 64.2% in GPP modes.

conclusionThe MedVidDeID pipeline offers a viable, efficient hybrid solution for handling AV healthcare data and privacy preservation. Future work will focus on reducing upstream errors at each stage and minimizing the role of the human in the loop.
