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

Introduction: As urbanization progresses and vulnerable populations increase, equitable accessibility remains a critical issue. This study evaluates the accessibility of transit-oriented development (TOD) in Shanghai, focusing on barrier-free facilities in metro stations. Methods: A comprehensive evaluation framework combining the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the System Usability Scale (SUS) was developed to assess metro station accessibility. Thirteen evaluation factors formed a composite accessibility index. A case study of two Shanghai metro stations, Xinzhuang and Xujiahui, was conducted using quantitative metrics, surveys, and interviews. Results: A strong correlation between AHP scores and SUS ratings validated the framework's reliability. The study provides recommendations for enhancing metro accessibility. Discussion: The proposed framework offers a robust tool for evaluating and improving urban transit accessibility, with implications for inclusive mobility policy and design.
