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

Numerical simulations of cardiovascular device deployment within digital twins of patient-specific anatomy can expedite and de-risk the device design process. Nonetheless, the exclusive use of patient-specific data constrains the anatomic variability that can be explored. We study how Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs) can edit digital twins to create digital siblings. Siblings can serve as the basis for comparative simulations, which can reveal how subtle anatomic variations impact device deployment, and augment virtual cohorts for improved device assessment. Using a case example centered on cardiac anatomy, we study various methods to generate digital siblings. We specifically introduce anatomic variation at different spatial scales or within localized regions, demonstrating the existence of bias toward common anatomic features. We furthermore leverage this bias for virtual cohort augmentation through selective editing, addressing issues related to dataset imbalance and diversity. Our framework delineates the capabilities of diffusion models in synthesizing anatomic variation for numerical simulation studies.
