Registry-linked trialAbstract readReview
In one paragraph

Review in Journal of personalized medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07719621 (Implication of Albuminuria Reduction and Other Cardiorenal Effects on The Risk of Heart Failure in Patients With CKD and T2D), which is not on this map. Cited by 16 papers.

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.

Abstract

Digital Twins (DTs) are poised to transform personalized medicine by enabling real-time, multiscale simulations of individual patients. By integrating genomics, imaging, wearable sensor data, and clinical records, DTs offer a powerful platform for predictive, adaptive, and patient-centered decision-making. Recent advances have highlighted their potential across a range of clinical domains, including cardiology, oncology, pharmacogenomics, and neurology. Yet, their routine application in clinical practice remains limited, underscoring a growing translational gap between digital innovation and healthcare delivery. In this review, we explore the scientific maturity and emerging clinical use cases of DTs, while critically analyzing the systemic, regulatory, ethical, and infrastructural barriers that hinder their widespread adoption. We outline a translational roadmap that emphasizes dynamic model validation, clinician co-development, equitable data representation, and regulatory harmonization. Uniquely, we reframe DTs as cognitive tools for clinical reasoning and decision support. We further clarify translational pathways through explicit evaluation and reporting recommendations. By positioning DTs within this practical framework, we outline how responsible, inclusive, and interdisciplinary implementation can establish them as foundational elements of 21st century precision medicine.
