Digital Twins in Translational Research and Health Care: An Anthropological Perspective.
Article in Ethics & human research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 essay, I consider the "social life" of digital twins in translational medicine, exploring how the United States is culturally unprepared for the arrival of digital twins at whole person scales. By looking more closely at our anticipated individual and collective interactions with digital twins for biomedical research and health care purposes, I attempt to highlight how our current approach to biomedical innovation could impede the realization of precision medicine rather than enable it. Extensive translational bioethics research-including specifically more deliberate anthroengineering research-is urgently needed so that we can better understand how these dynamic, data intensive, artificial intelligence-enabled technologies can be responsibly developed, organized, and engaged, and so that we can co-create the necessary cultural conditions for us all to thrive.
