Pickup and delivery planning for the crowdsourced freight delivery routing problem.
Article in PloS one, 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
Pickup and delivery problem (PDP) and dynamic vehicle routing problem (DVRP) are two key components of crowdsourced freight delivery services. Although previous research has focused predominantly on static vehicle routing problems, this study formally defines the dynamic problem specific to crowdsourced freight delivery and presents a mixed-integer linear programming model based on a rolling-horizon framework. The objective is to minimize total service costs, including fixed vehicle costs, transportation costs, and penalty costs for delays, while planning routes that cover all orders. To solve this combinatorial optimization problem, we propose an improved partheno genetic algorithm (IPGA) and a simulated annealing algorithm (SA). Numerical experiments demonstrate that the IPGA outperforms the SA, reducing the total service costs by over 10% on average. In addition, a real-world case study illustrates the practical applicability of our model and algorithms, providing a solid foundation for real-world implementation.
