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

Urban congestion is simultaneously influenced by heterogeneous spatio-temporal travel demands, the topology and spatial characteristics of road networks, and the interplay between multiple travel modes. As a critical component of solutions towards a greener and more sustainable transportation, bike-sharing systems have great potential in reducing carbon emissions, improving public health, and alleviating congestion by substituting short-distance motorized trips. Benefiting from flexible accessibility and usage, dockless bike-sharing has gained wide popularity and revived the fashion of cycling in cities. In this study, we reveal that the widely adopted detour ratio alone cannot effectively reflect congestion levels at the route level. Using large-scale dockless bike-sharing data and taxi trajectory data in Beijing, we quantitatively examine the relationships between cycling flow, motor vehicle traffic and road network structure. In addition, the proposed cycling-traffic-weighted detour ratio can prescreen potentially inefficient cycling routes, which can assist targeted infrastructure optimization and evidence-based urban planning.
