A Review on the 40 Years of Existence of Data Envelopment Analysis Models: Historic Development and Current Trends.
Review in Archives of computational methods in engineering : state of the art reviews, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
DEA, incepted in 80s, has emerged as a popular decision-making technique, for determining the efficiency of similar units. Due to its simplicity and applicability, DEA has gained the attention of scientists and researchers working in diverse areas, which has contributed towards a rich literature both in terms of theoretical development as well as different applications. This paper tries to bring together the near 40 years of existence of DEA in a concise format by discussing the popular DEA models, their advantages and shortcomings, and different applications of DEA. It also provides a brief bibliometric analysis to highlight the development of DEA over the years in terms of publication trends, highly cited papers, journal citation, etc.
