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 transformation is reshaping the healthcare field by streamlining diagnostic workflows and improving disease management. Within this transformation, Digital Twins (DTs), which are virtual representations of physical systems continuously updated by real-world data, stand out for their ability to capture the complexity of human physiology and behavior. When coupled with Artificial Intelligence (AI), DTs enable data-driven experimentation, precise diagnostic support, and predictive modeling without posing direct risks to patients. However, their integration into healthcare requires careful consideration of ethical, regulatory, and safety constraints in light of the sensitivity and nonlinear nature of human data. In this review, we examine recent progress in DTs over the past seven years and explore broader trends in AI-augmented DTs, focusing particularly on movement rehabilitation. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of how DTs bolstered by AI can transform healthcare delivery, medical research, and personalized care. We discuss implementation challenges such as data privacy, clinical validation, and scalability along with opportunities for more efficient, safe, and patient-centered healthcare systems. By addressing these issues, this review highlights key insights and directions for future research to guide the proactive and ethical adoption of DTs in healthcare.
