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

Purpose To perform a systematic review evaluating current digital twin (DT) implementations, highlighting clinical relevance and technical strategies, and identifying opportunities to advance personalized, predictive care in neuro-oncology. Materials and Methods PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were systematically screened for English-language original research articles published from inception through June 2025 focused on DT development, validation, or patient-specific computational models in neuro-oncology. Extracted variables included computational frameworks, data sources, clinical or predictive tasks, and reported outcomes. Risk of bias and applicability were assessed using the Prediction model Risk Of Bias ASsessment Tool (PROBAST), which revealed well-defined predictors and outcomes but frequent concerns regarding participants and analysis. Results Of the 73 articles reviewed, 21 met eligibility criteria. DTs simulated tumor growth, radiation response, immune interactions, and drug transport.Most models (
