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

With limited funds and an aging highway infrastructure network, agency decision-makers are tasked with making the most cost-effective decisions while accounting for the environment and social equity. Several studies have accounted for the economic and environmental considerations in infrastructure management decisions. However, there have been limited studies which have proposed quantitative approaches for integrating social equity as part of the highway Maintenance and Rehabilitation (M&R) decision-making process. To address this gap in the literature, this paper proposes four optimization models (corresponding to policies) for achieving social equity in highway M&R programming. The underlying rationales behind these models include combinations of egalitarian, utilitarian, socialism, and Rawlsian equity theories. The developed models were then implemented in a numerical case study consisting of a network of 500 pavement sections. The case study results were evaluated using average condition scores and adaptations of the
