Multicriteria Group Decision Making Based on Intuitionistic Normal Cloud and Cloud Distance Entropy.

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 uncertainty of information is an important issue that must be faced when dealing with decision-making problems. Randomness and fuzziness are the two most common types of uncertainty. In this paper, we propose a multicriteria group decision-making method based on intuitionistic normal cloud and cloud distance entropy. First, the backward cloud generation algorithm for intuitionistic normal clouds is designed to transform the intuitionistic fuzzy decision information given by all experts into an intuitionistic normal cloud matrix to avoid the loss and distortion of information. Second, the distance measurement of the cloud model is introduced into the information entropy theory, and the concept of cloud distance entropy is proposed. Then, the distance measurement for intuitionistic normal clouds based on numerical features is defined and its properties are discussed, based on which the criterion weight determination method under intuitionistic normal cloud information is proposed. In addition, the VIKOR method, which integrates group utility and individual regret, is extended to the intuitionistic normal cloud environment, and thus the ranking results of the alternatives are obtained. Finally, the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed method are demonstrated by two numerical examples.
