Digital twins for the era of personalized surgery.
Review in NPJ digital medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
Digital twins can aid surgeons in training and in performing interventions with greater awareness and precision. The range and variety of digital twins in surgery are described, and their use across perioperative care is discussed. While largely experimental, they are beginning to show promise for the enhancement of personalized, adaptive, and data-driven surgical care. Issues relevant to the greater adoption and deployment of digital twins are all considered.
