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

Background: Healthcare facilities are crucial assets that are necessary to be updated and evaluated regularly. One of the most pressing issues today is the renovation of healthcare facilities to match international standards. In large projects involving nations renovating healthcare facilities, it is necessary to rank the evaluated hospitals and medical centers in making optimal decisions for the redesign process. Objective: This study presents the process of renovating old healthcare facilities to meet international standards, applying proposed algorithms for measuring compliance for redesign, and deciding whether or not the redesign process is beneficial. Methods: The evaluated hospitals were ranked using a fuzzy technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution algorithm and a reallocation algorithm that calculates the layout score before and after applying the proposed algorithm for the redesign process using bubble plan and graph heuristics techniques.
