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
The sharing economy is an inevitable trend in cold chain logistics. Most cold chain logistics enterprises are small and operate independently, with limited collaboration. Joint distribution is key to integrating cold chain logistics and the sharing economy. It aims to share logistics resources, provide collective customer service, and optimize distribution routes. However, existing studies have overlooked uncertainty factors in joint distribution optimization. To address this, we propose the Cold Chain Logistics Joint Distribution Vehicle Routing Problem with Time-Varying Network (CCLJDVRP-TVN). This model integrates traffic congestion uncertainty and constructs a time-varying network to reflect real-world conditions. The solution combines simulated annealing strategies with genetic algorithms. It also uses the entropy mechanism to optimize uncertainties, improving global search performance. The method was applied to optimize vehicle routing for three cold chain logistics companies in Beijing. The results show a reduction in logistics costs by 18.3%, carbon emissions by 15.8%, and fleet size by 12.5%. It also effectively addresses the impact of congestion and uncertainty on distribution. This study offers valuable theoretical support for optimizing joint distribution and managing uncertainties in cold chain logistics.
