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
The performance evaluation is one of the most important organizational management strategies used to guide the sales behavior of sales staff. However, it should be work process-oriented or sales result-oriented has become a dilemma for the management when evaluating employees' performance. Therefore, comprehensively evaluating the work process and sales results has become a challenge when it comes to salespeople performance appraisal. To solve this dilemma, this research builds a salesperson performance evaluation model which considering both of work efficiency and effectiveness, based on the decision tree model. Specifically, we use the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model to quantify the work efficiency of salespeople and measure the work effectiveness by amount of sales. Moreover, this research proposes an advanced integrated DEA model by integrating the self-evaluation DEA models, peer-evaluation DEA models, and Gini impurity, which is identified to be more stable compared with the current DEA model. Finally, a case study of a Chinese liquor company is introduced to illustrate the applicability and feasibility of the salesperson performance evaluation model. The proposed model is applied to evaluate the performance of the salespeople, and a set of comprehensive and objective sales performance evaluation results are obtained. The estimated results can provide feasible sales management suggestions for the company in diagnosing work problems of salespeople.
