A modified TOPSIS algorithm for the assessment of sports quality in higher education using circular pythagorean fuzzy information.

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
Higher education institutions experience difficulties in sports quality assessment because multiple qualitative and quantitative factors, including sports facilities and coaching abilities, combine with student participation and institutional backing. Standard assessment systems encounter challenges when measuring subjective phenomena found in quality assessment evaluations. This research introduces an improved version of the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) based multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model that utilizes circular Pythagorean fuzzy sets (CPyFS) to effectively process imprecise expert judgments. The proposed model implements redesigned weight assignment and distance computation techniques for optimizing decision reliability. A practical investigation analyzes different key evaluation criteria for sports programs, including basketball, soccer, volleyball, tennis, and swimming, through consultation with a sports director, senior coach, and a student representative. According to the results, the swimming program leads all other programs in sports quality assessment. The proposed model performs better than conventional fuzzy MCDM methods through robust ranking results, precise findings, and rapid computational speed. The evaluation system delivers a dependable method that enables sports policymakers and administrators to maximize investment while increasing student involvement within higher educational settings.
