Enhancing urban quality of life evaluation using spatial multi criteria analysis.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Quality of Life (QoL) in urban environments represents people's well-being and is influenced by various factors. This paper introduces an innovative approach to promote urban equity by integrating spatial analysis and Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM). The proposed method focuses mainly on accessibility to urban facilities and environmental health factors. In this research, data fusion techniques were utilized to generate criteria maps for urban air pollution and heat islands, while factor analysis, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and entropy were employed to provide a comprehensive assessment of equity related to these environmental factors in the case study area. Expert opinions, collected through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Best-Worst Method (BWM), were refined using Dempster-Shafer theory to adjust the weights assigned to each evaluation criterion. The results highlight that access to educational facilities and green spaces significantly impacts urban equity, with respective weights of 0.189 and 0.149. Air pollution was also identified as a critical factor, with a weight of 0.152. These findings underscore the potential of this integrated approach in assessing urban livability, particularly in Tehran, Iran.
