A dual hesitant fuzzy entropy-TOPSIS framework for multi-criteria evaluation of medical E-learning systems.
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
The rapid evolution of E-learning platforms in dental education is a multi-criteria decision problem that demands vigorous decision-making under ambiguity. This paper posits an innovative Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) model underpinning Dual Hesitant Fuzzy Sets (DHFS), entropy weights, and an enhanced TOPSIS algorithm to manage expert rating-dependent dual-layer ambiguity. Both membership and value hesitation are retained, with the added semantic depth compared with available fuzzy systems. An exemplar underpinning five dental E-learning platforms evaluated on seven alternatives verify the superiority of the innovative DHFS-Entropy-TOPSIS procedure compared with the standard Fuzzy decision making techniques. The sensitivity analysis verifies the robustness of the procedure about variations in the weights. The results validate the DHFS-MCDM as an effective and large-scale solution to the optimization of digital learning websites, and future possibilities aim at exploiting machine learning-based dynamic, adaptive decision-making.
