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
The development of digital twins for railway freight vehicles represents a key step toward more efficient, data-driven maintenance and safety assessment. This study focuses on the creation of a digital twin of the T3000 articulated freight wagon, one of the most widespread intermodal transport solutions in Europe. Despite its relevance, the dynamic behavior of this vehicle type has been scarcely investigated so far in scientific literature. A dedicated onboard measurement layout was defined to enable comprehensive monitoring of vehicle dynamics and the interactions between adjacent wagons within the train. The experimental setup integrates inertial sensors and a 3D vision system, allowing for detailed analysis of both rigid-body and vibrational responses under real operating conditions. A high-fidelity multibody model of the articulated wagon was developed and tuned using the acquired data, achieving optimal agreement with experimental measurements in both straight and curved track segments. The resulting model constitutes a reliable and scalable digital twin of the T3000 wagon, suitable for predictive simulations and virtual testing. Future developments will focus on a deeper investigation of the buffer interaction through an additional experimental campaign, further extending the digital twin's capability to represent the full dynamic behavior of articulated freight trains.
