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

Heterogeneous multi-attribute case retrieval is a crucial step in generating emergency alternatives during the course of emergency decision making (EDM) by referring to historical cases. This paper develops a heterogeneous multi-attribute case retrieval method for EDM that considers five attribute formats: crisp numbers, interval numbers, intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, single-valued neutrosophic numbers (SvNNs), and interval-valued neutrosophic numbers (IvNNs). First, we propose a similarity measurement of IvNNs and calculate the attribute similarities for the five attribute formats. The attribute weights are established using an optimal model. Next, the case similarities are calculated and the set of the similar historical cases is constructed. Furthermore, the evaluated information based on heterogeneous multi-attribute from similar historical cases is provided, and the calculation method for the evaluation of utility based on TODIM (an acronym for interactive and multi-criteria decision-making in Portugese) is proposed. The most suitable historical case is determined based on the case similarity and the evaluated utility. From this, the emergency alternative is generated. Finally, we demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method with a case study and conduct comparisons against the performance of existing methods to assess the validity and superiority of the proposed method.
