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

Supply Chain Finance (SCF) enhances financial liquidity, optimizes operational efficiency, and strengthens collaboration among supply chain stakeholders. Traditional SCF systems are vulnerable to economic risks, fraud, and a lack of transparency due to centralized data control and limited real-time monitoring capabilities. Current systems rely on slow central financial bodies and static credit evaluations, lacking dynamic risk assessment and mechanisms to build stakeholder trust. This research proposes Bi-MATRA, a Blockchain-Integrated Multi-Agent Trust and Risk Assessment system. The goal is to create a decentralized, intelligent risk evaluation system for real-time trust computation and automated decision-making in SCF contexts. Bi-MATRA combines blockchain's immutability and transparency with a multi-agent system that automatically monitors and assesses risk. Bi-MATRA uses an adapted Eigen Trust algorithm on the blockchain to calculate trust. Agents rate each other based on interaction history, and transitive trust linkages determine global trust ratings. Smart contracts for dynamic trust-based decision-making update these scores. Smart contracts enforce predefined financial agreements, automating processes and reducing the need for intermediaries. Agent-based modelling was employed to develop a blockchain-based simulation testbed for assessing Bi-MATRA's responsiveness, accuracy, and resilience. The framework was more efficient at trust validation and risk identification than typical SCF systems. Key studies reveal that Bi-MATRA saves transaction clearance time by 35% and improves early risk detection by 28%. EigenTrust-based trust computation builds agent trust and accountability, enhancing financial interactions. In conclusion, the Bi-MATRA framework offers a scalable, decentralized approach to intelligent risk assessment and trust-building in blockchain-enabled supply chain finance systems.
