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

This study explores an innovative application of the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) within the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) technique. It focuses on the factors prompting career satisfaction in sports participation. As the importance of physical education and traditional sports in promoting complete development continues to increase, the need for systematic strategies becomes paramount. The MCDM approach based on Pythagorean fuzzy set (PyFS) helps as an effective tool for assessing the best alternatives among several choices. AHP helps with pairwise comparisons and assesses the relative importance of each criterion, enabling decision-makers to identify the most suitable option. The PyFS model provides a more advanced version of the fuzzy set, allowing for the meaning of both the degree of membership (DoM) and the degree of non-membership (DoNM) within the interval of [Formula: see text]. In this, we proposed some new aggregation operators (AOs) of Sugeno-Weber t-norm (TNM) and t-conorm (TCNM) based on PyFS, which are Pythagorean fuzzy Sugeno-Weber weighted averaging (PyFSWWA) and Pythagorean fuzzy Sugeno-Weber weighted geometric (PyFSWWG) operators. Also, we proposed a model of AHP to calculate the weight vector for criteria. We present the MCDM algorithm for AHP and the derived AOs, offering solutions to practical numerical examples and identifying optimal sports options that improve career happiness. In the case study, take four alternatives: Football, Swimming, Tennis, and Golf, based on physical health, mental health, character development, and discipline. When we use our proposed AOs to select the best alternatives. Tennis [Formula: see text] is the best alternative. To highlight the significance of the established model, we perform a comparative analysis with existing methods, concluding with a discussion of the key findings.
