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 develops an Interval Minimax Relative Regret Analysis (IMRA) method that combines interval linear programming (ILP) with minimax relative regret analysis (MRA) techniques to address growing challenges in water resources management under climate change. The proposed IMRA framework minimizes maximum potential regret among stakeholders while integrating multidimensional considerations of climate projections, risk management, and ecosystem protection, with particular emphasis on prioritizing ecological water requirements in allocation decisions. Applied to Sri Lanka's Mahaweli River Basin, the methodology employs multi-objective optimization to reconcile competing water demands across sectors and resolve disparities among diverse water users, systematically evaluating irrigation benefits and associated economic losses across 23 regions with varying crop patterns. The investigation reveals critical interactions between water resources and key socioeconomic and ecological determinants, enabling scientifically-grounded regulation and efficient utilization of water sources. Through absolute and relative regret criteria, the IMRA model identifies optimal solutions, determining an ideal irrigation water supply range of [174.09, 216.62] 10
