Assessment of sustainable waste management alternatives using the extensions of the base criterion method and combined compromise solution based on the fuzzy Z-numbers.

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
A number of factors have contributed to the increase in waste production and diversity of waste, such as the increase in population, alterations in consumption patterns, economic development, income changes, urbanization, and industrialization. The production of different types of waste, such as electronic, urban, hospital, and industrial waste, makes it necessary to classify waste accurately and recognize effective criteria for waste management. To design and operate waste management systems, it is necessary to understand the sources and types of waste, as well as information about their composition and rate of production. As a result, this study aims to rank 21 types of waste according to Iran's economic, social, and environmental criteria, as well as 13 sub-criteria related to those criteria. For this aim, proposed a novel decision-making approach based on the extension of the base criterion method (BCM) and combined compromise solution (CoCoSo) methods under fuzzy Z-numbers. Additionally, sensitivity analysis and comprehensive analysis are conducted on the results of the criteria and alternatives of sustainable waste management. Based on the results of this study, direct profit and reduced landfill are the most important criteria for assessing sustainable waste management alternatives. According to the results of this study, the sub-alternative of industrial metal waste is the most important waste management option. Examining the next sub-alternative ranks under sustainable waste management options (mobile, communication equipment, and battery) shows that electronic waste requires more attention for recycling and sustainable waste management.
