Assessing the sustainability of smart healthcare applications using a multi-perspective fuzzy comprehensive evaluation approach.

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 smart healthcare application can be judged as sustainable if it was already widely used before and will also be prevalent in the future. In contrast, if a smart healthcare application developed during the COVID-19 pandemic is not used after it, then it is not sustainable. Assessing the sustainability of smart healthcare applications is a critical task for their users and suppliers. However, it is also a challenging task due to the availability of data, users' subjective beliefs, and different perspectives. In response to this problem, this study proposes a multi-perspective fuzzy comprehensive evaluation approach to evaluate the sustainability of a smart healthcare application from qualitative, multi-criteria decision-making and time-series perspectives. The proposed methodology has been used to evaluate the sustainability of eight smart healthcare applications. The experimental results showed that the sustainability of a smart healthcare application evaluated from different perspectives may be different. Nevertheless, another technique can be used to confirm the evaluation result generated using one technique. In other words, these views compensate for each other.
