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

Renovating old buildings is a strategic approach to resource optimization and sustainability. However, dormitory design decisions are often made by a limited panel of experts, which risks excluding student preferences-key to the design process. Expert assumptions about student needs can lead to biased outcomes, and attempts to gather student input may suffer from respondent bias and inconsistent engagement, introducing data noise. This paper presents the Grey Trimmed Preferences Selection Index (GTPSI) Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method, an improved preference selection index MCDM method that integrates expert weights and refines student feedback by filtering outliers, using interval grey numbers to address uncertainty. Applied to dormitory renovation proposals, GTPSI provides a stable ranking framework, as confirmed by whitening sensitivity analysis, ensuring consistency across grey bounds. To further validate the selected alternative, results are cross-verified with TOPSIS and ELECTRE-III, reinforcing GTPSI's robustness in aligning renovation designs with actual student needs. The GTPSI method thus offers a comprehensive solution for integrating user-centered preferences into expert evaluations, promoting designs that better meet stakeholder expectations.
