Leveraging the Metaverse for Enhanced Longevity as a Component of Health 4.0.
Review in Mayo Clinic proceedings. Digital health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
In this review, we describe evidence that supports building a metaverse to promote healthy longevity. We propose that the metaverse offers several physical advantages (architecture, music, and nature), social (accessibility, affordability, community-building, and relief of social anxiety), and therapeutic (immersive, anti-inflammatory, and adjunctive use in complementary and integrative medicine). Lifelogging by patients may help clinicians personalize interventions by matching data to therapeutic outcomes. Although the metaverse cannot entirely replace our current model of care, a strategic approach will ensure adequate resource allocation and value assessment. In a collaborative effort between Reulay, Inc and Mayo Clinic, we are building a platform for the delivery of personalized and idiographic interventions to promote healthy longevity. To this end, we are using specific science-informed art design to reduce stress and anxiety for patients, with the progressive addition of integrated care elements that connect to this framework and connect treatment response to biomarkers that are relevant to healthy longevity. This review is a commentary on the thought process behind this effort.
