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

introductionAt the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, various social measures were taken and various sectors were affected with strict precautions and safety measurements. The construction industry, where numerous employees work together, was affected by these COVID restrictions. The pandemic period typically further delayed the construction contracts.

methodsThis study addresses the project duration, pandemic risk, and project cost of a construction project case by using both multi-objective genetic algorithm and resource constrained project scheduling techniques, using modeling of COVID-19 infection rate. Finally, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), a multi-objective technique, is used to obtain an optimal solution using three criteria: project duration, total cost, and pandemic risk value.

resultsA case study is used for analyzing the outcomes of the pandemic-based modeling, the original schedule of the case study ends in 46 days. Feasible schedules are obtained with durations occurring between 61 to 199 days, the pandemic risks range from 46% to 89%, and the total cost varies from 174,669.8 Turkish Lira (TL) to 186,126.7 TL. Consequently, the most optimal-final solution is obtained Alternative 5 (0.46% pandemic risk, 199 Day (10 workers) with 185,722 TL).

conclusionWe conclude that the possible rate of pandemic-related delays can be obtained by using both these techniques and the infection modeling method. Using the COVID-19 infection rate modeling, duration and cost changes are calculated by considering infection risk in construction workers. Practical Applications: Using the COVID-19 infection rate modeling, project delays and cost overruns are determined by considering infection risk in construction workers. Optimum worker sizes and delayed construction activities are determined according to the selected solution by using the AHP technique. Expectedly, this study may help determine the construction process while preserving social distances between construction workers during pandemic situations like COVID-19.
