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

Digital twins have recently emerged in healthcare. They combine advances in cyber-physical systems, modelling and computation techniques, and enable a bidirectional flow of information between the physical and virtual entities. In respiratory medicine, progress in connected devices and artificial intelligence make it technically possible to obtain digital twins that allow real-time visualisation of a patient's respiratory health. Advances in respiratory system modelling also enable the development of digital twins that could be used to predict the effectiveness of different therapeutic approaches for a patient. For researchers, digital twins could lead to a better understanding of the gene-environment-time interactions involved in the development of chronic respiratory diseases. For clinicians and patients, they could facilitate personalised and timely medicine, by enabling therapeutic adaptations specific to each patient and early detection of disease progression. The objective of this review is to allow the reader to explore the concept of digital twins, their feasibility in respiratory medicine, their potential benefits and the challenges to their implementation.
