Building non-motorized accessible communities for heterogeneous demand: A facility location and network design problem.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Improving non-motorized accessibility is essential to enable access to vital services such as education and healthcare. Road networks are often inadequately designed for non-motorized accessibility, and service facilities are not always strategically located to reach the majority of users. Furthermore, design decisions are rarely made with consideration for the diverse needs and walking abilities of a heterogeneous population. Enhancing infrastructure by locating new service facilities and creating accessible paths involves significant investments, requiring a systematic approach to utilize limited resources efficiently. We propose an optimization model to identify optimal locations for new facilities and accessible road segments to maximize non-motorized accessibility to a range of services, taking into account users with different walking abilities. A randomized greedy algorithm is developed to tackle the complex network design and facility location problem. A case study in the Huai Kwang district of Bangkok is discussed to illustrate how this methodology can support strategic decisions to enhance non-motorized accessibility.
