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

This study employs a case study design to examine virtual reality (VR) representations of three culturally significant temples in Asia: Kodaiji Temple in Japan, Angkor Wat in Cambodia, and the Shwedagon Pagoda in Myanmar. Each temple was selected for its historical, religious, and architectural importance, offering a comparative view of diverse digital preservation approaches within metaverse. Kodaiji Temple, a Zen Buddhist site in Japan, highlights the VR potential to convey spiritual ambiance along with architectural aesthetics. Cambodia's Angkor Wat, a vast Khmer-style temple complex, presents unique technical challenges in digitally capturing its intricate carvings and expansive layout. Shwedagon Pagoda in Myanmar provides a study in digitizing sacred elements, including ritual practices and symbolism embedded in its structure. Drawing on secondary sources such as historical documents, academic articles, and cultural reports, this study investigates the effectiveness, challenges, and cultural implications of VR in preserving sacred temple architecture. Limitations regarding access to high-resolution VR models and the cultural sensitivities of digitalizing sacred spaces are acknowledged.
