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

Following the PRISMA-ScR framework for scoping reviews, we systematically searched five databases (Scopus, IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Web of Science) using a Boolean query combining real-time processing, 3D reconstruction, and deformation modelling terms. From 86 records identified, 56 peer-reviewed publications (2009-2025) were retained after two-stage screening and organized into a unified taxonomy covering sensing modalities (RGB-D, LiDAR, tactile), reconstruction pipelines (volumetric fusion, NRSfM, neural radiance fields), and deformation models (FEM, PBD, mass-spring, GNN-based surrogates, differentiable simulators). Of the 56 included works, 60% were published between 2022 and 2025, confirming the field's rapid growth. Neural and implicit representations account for 20% of contributions, FEM-based methods for 16%, and hybrid or application-specific pipelines for 21%. Four systemic gaps emerge: the absence of a unified physics-aware benchmark; unresolved speed-accuracy trade-offs (PBD achieves >30 FPS on desktop GPUs for 10
