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

Greenhouse gas emission inventories are central to climate action planning. Existing accounting frameworks define emission Scopes but offer limited guidance on how to prioritize them for decision-making. This study develops a decision-support framework based on the analytic hierarchy process to evaluate and rank emission Scopes using stakeholder-informed criteria. Applied to Pakistan's cement sector, the analysis identifies the feasibility of mitigation measures as the most influential criterion, and ranks Scope 1 emissions as the highest priority, followed by Scopes 2 and 3, respectively. Sensitivity analysis demonstrates that prioritization outcomes vary with changing emphasis on completeness, indicating that Scope selection is context-dependent, dynamic, and time-sensitive. The framework provides a transparent and adaptable approach to guide the development of balanced, policy-relevant emission inventories across sectors and regions.
