A new approach to the intelligent decision support system for individual hearing aid selection and acquisition.
Article in Future science OA, 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
backgroundThe intelligent decision support system (IDSS) is designed for patients to acquire hearing aids that better meet their needs, because they often agree to pay from their funds for a better, more customized hearing aid.
objectiveThe article aims to present the IDSS for selecting personal hearing aids in healthcare institutions.
methodsThe article proves that the SAW (simple additive waiting) multi-criteria evaluation method is the most suitable for creating the IDSS. Hearing aids are evaluated according to 12 reasonable criteria, which are differentiated into two groups. The proposed methodology is flexible, allowing for changing the significance of differentiated criteria groups.
resultsThe created IDSS system helps increase the effectiveness of choosing the best hearing aid. Even 92% of the surveyed patients positively evaluated the choice of hearing aid. This situation indicates greater patient satisfaction than usual when selecting these measures.
conclusionThe proposed IDSS is suitable for adaptation in a computer program, and such a solution greatly facilitates the selection of a hearing aid. Applying the proposed IDSS makes the choice more objective, thus better meeting patients' needs.
