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
This study presents an integrated decision-support framework for the multidimensional assessment of renewable energy technologies in large-scale airport terminals. We propose a hybrid approach that integrates quantitative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) results with Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) to support strategic energy planning. Given their high energy demand and operational complexity, airports are critical hubs for sustainability research. Our framework combines LCA, the CRITIC method, and expert-based AHP to evaluate seven energy technologies across environmental, economic, social, and technical dimensions. Environmental indicators from the LCA were objectively weighted via CRITIC, while other criteria were assessed through AHP. These insights were then integrated using the MULTIMOORA model to determine global sustainability performance. Using Istanbul Airport as a realistic case study, our findings reveal that technologies focused on energy management and electrification offer superior environmental performance due to operational efficiencies. While geothermal systems excel in heating and cooling, PV, wind, and biomass technologies show more pronounced impacts within their supply chains. Ultimately, this research provides a scalable and methodologically robust framework for assessing renewable energy applications at the airport scale.
