Lessons learned from a study based on the AHP method for the assessment of sustainability in neighborhoods.
Article in MethodsX, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a method that allows complex decisions to be made from impartiality, making it suitable for reaching a consensus among experts seeking to solve a problem. This method has been successfully applied in other investigations, and its use has been extended to several disciplines. This technical paper presents the lessons learned from a study that relied on the AHP method to determine priority aspects for sustainable neighborhoods. The research is developed in three replicable phases. In each of them, aspects that are recommended to be considered are detailed, for example, in the formulation of the hierarchical structure, selection of experts, expert survey design, and information processing for the determination of weights and levels of importance.•The utilization of software to apply the AHP method can help researchers to optimize time and resources.•Social networks proved to be more effective than conventional methods for identifying and contacting experts.•Subjective sustainability issues can be prioritized by expert consensus.
