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

In this paper, we examine and illustrate the relevance of multi-criteria portfolio decision analysis as an approach to addressing mis/disinformation risks. After summarizing representative applications of these methods, we draw on the framework for societal resilience developed in the Finnish COVID-19 Science to Panel to elaborate on the range of capabilities that can be leveraged to mitigate mis/disinformation, for example, by maintaining alertness, implementing risk management actions, and interacting with stakeholders to promote awareness. We then present a numerical case study that illustrates how multi-criteria portfolio decision analysis can be combined with probabilistic approaches for modeling voting behavior and the spread of mis/disinformation to identify cost-efficient strategies consisting of combinations of risk management actions. We conclude by discussing some of the challenges posed by mis/disinformation.
