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

We present a quasi-crystal metasurface that can simultaneously work as efficient cross-polarizer and circular polarizer for wide range of frequencies. The quasi-crystal technique benefits from individual resonant response of anisotropic patch and the coupled response due to periodic perturbations in the square lattice. It is shown that quasi-crystals offer broadband response for cross-polarization as well as high efficiency circular-polarization conversion of reflected fields. The quasi-crystal metasurface achieves cross-polarization (above -3 dB) for two broad frequency bands between 10.28-15.50 GHz and 16.21-18.80 GHz. Furthermore, the proposed metasurface can simultaneously work as high efficiency circular-polarizer from 10.15-10.27 GHz and 15.51-16.20 GHz. The metasurface design is also optimized to suppress co-polarization below -10 dB between 10.5-15.5 GHz. This metasurface can find potential applications in reflector antennas, imaging microscopy, remote sensing, and control of radar cross-section etc.
