Deficiencies causes in road construction scheduling: Perspectives from construction professionals.
Article in Heliyon, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Effective construction scheduling is crucial for the success of road projects. However, deficiencies in this scheduling can lead to significant challenges such as delays, cost overruns, and litigation. Therefore, project managers need to understand the causes that contribute to these deficiencies thoroughly. Unfortunately, there has been little research examining these elements in detail. To address this gap, this study examined the causes that affect the scheduling of construction processes for road projects. The research method involved four stages: (1) identification of causes affecting construction scheduling, (2) design and application of a questionnaire, (3) influence analysis, and (4) exploratory quantitative analysis. The study identified 34 causes of deficiencies in the scheduling of road construction processes in six categories: workforce, machinery, material, measurement, environment, and method. Thirty-two experts were consulted to evaluate the frequency and severity of each cause based on a relative influence index. The causes with the greatest impact on deficiencies in road construction scheduling were poor estimation of labor performance, poor estimation of workforce quantity, and deficient coordination with public utilities. The findings allow managers to pinpoint the root causes of road construction planning problems and identify effective solutions.
