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

Three different types of entropy weight methods (EWMs), i.e., EWM-A, EWM-B, and EWM-C, have been used by previous studies for integrating prediction models. These three methods use very different ideas on determining the weights of individual models for integration. To evaluate the performances of these three EWMs, this study applied them to developing integrated short-term traffic flow prediction models for signalized intersections. At first, two individual models, i.e., a k-nearest neighbors (KNN)-algorithm-based model and a neural-network-based model (Elman), were developed as individual models to be integrated using EWMs. These two models were selected because they have been widely used for traffic flow prediction and have been approved to be able to achieve good performance. After that, three integrated models were developed by using the three different types of EWMs. The performances of the three integrated models, as well as the individual KNN and Elman models, were compared. We found that the traffic flow predicted with the EWM-C model is the most accurate prediction for most of the days. Based on the model evaluation results, the advantages of using the EWM-C method were deliberated and the problems with the EWM-A and EWM-B methods were also discussed.
