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: To foster innovation and optimization in engineering product design, it is crucial for engineering professionals to effectively integrate knowledge and make informed decisions within interdisciplinary collaborative environments. Understanding the factors that influence group decision-making performance can enhance communication and knowledge integration among experts from diverse disciplinary backgrounds. By analyzing decision-makers' attention allocation and information processing at the cognitive level, the innovation and practicality of solutions can be significantly improved. However, the complexity and multitude of factors affecting decision-making performance pose challenges, particularly due to the lack of quantitative research and unified metrics at both group and cognitive levels. This gap hinders the quality and efficiency of engineering group decisions. Methods: This study introduces an eye-tracking method to investigate interdisciplinary group decision-making in engineering design, leveraging group decision-making performance theory and eye-tracking technology. Experiments were conducted in the context of Chinese cruise ship cabin design. Using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), a quantitative model was developed to assess the impact of visual attention on group decision performance. Results: The results demonstrate that group average gaze duration and group average number of gazes directly influence group decision-maker satisfaction and decision acceptability. Furthermore, these factors indirectly affect interdisciplinary group decision-making performance by impacting group decision quality. Discussion: The findings provide a foundation for developing effective interdisciplinary group decision support systems, enhancing cognitive performance, and offering new methodological insights for future engineering design decisions. This research contributes to bridging the gap in quantitative assessment of group decision-making performance, paving the way for improved decision quality and efficiency in engineering contexts.
