Design of control strategies to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 pandemic.
Article in European journal of operational research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
This paper proposes control strategies to allocate COVID-19 patients to screening facilities, health facilities, and quarantine facilities for minimizing the spread of the virus by these patients. To calculate the transmission rate, we propose a function that accounts for contact rate, duration of the contact, age structure of the population, susceptibility to infection, and the number of transmission events per contact. Moreover, the COVID-19 cases are divided into different groups according to the severity of their disease and are allocated to appropriate health facilities that provide care tailored to their needs. The multi-stage fuzzy stochastic programming approach is applied to cope with uncertainty, in which the probability associated with nodes of the scenario tree is treated as fuzzy variables. To handle the probabilistic model, we use a more flexible measure,
