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

Short-term demand forecasting is essential for the public transit system, allowing for effective operations planning. This is especially relevant in the highly uncertain environment created by the SARS‑CoV‑2 pandemic. In this paper, we attempt to develop accurate prediction models of transit ridership in Athens, Greece, using Autoregressive Fractional Integrated time series models enhanced with SARS‑CoV‑2-related exogenous variables. The selected exogenous variables are, from the one hand, the ratio of weekly SARS‑CoV‑2 infections over the infections 3 weeks before (capturing the dynamics of the pandemic, as a proxy for fear of transmitting the disease while commuting), and from the other hand, an index of the stringency of the government's SARS‑CoV‑2-related measures and regulations. The developed ARFIMAX models have been fitted separately on bus and metro ridership data and wield comparable and statistically significant results. In both models, the exogenous variables prove to be statistically significant and their values are intuitive, suggesting a linear interrelation between them and transit ridership.
